Article Synopsis
- Researchers successfully used near-infrared (NIR) photoluminescence microscopy to study single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) attached to microbead surfaces.
- The study showed that the PL intensity of SWNTs decreased upon exposure to potassium permanganate (KMnO) and partially recovered with the addition of papain, demonstrating enzyme reactions at a micro level.
- This research is significant as it provides a novel method to observe SWNT responses on individual beads, opening up new avenues for investigating enzyme interactions and reactions.
To realize single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) chiral selective growth, elucidating the mechanism of SWCNT chirality (n,m) selectivity is important. For this purpose, an accurate evaluation method for evaluating the chirality distribution of grown SWCNTs without post-growth processing or liquid-dispersion of SWCNTs is indispensable. Here, we used photoluminescence spectroscopy to directly measure the chirality distributions of individual semiconducting SWCNTs suspended on a pillar-patterned substrate.
