Photophysics of Carbon Nanotubes Interfaced with Organic and Inorganic Materials

<p><i>Photophysics of Carbon Nanotubes Interfaced with Organic and Inorganic Materials </i>describes physical, optical and spectroscopic properties of the emerging class of nanocomposites formed from carbon nanotubes (CNTs) interfacing with organic and inorganic materials. </p><p>The three main chapters detail novel trends in photophysics related to the interaction of light with various carbon nanotube composites from relatively simple CNT/small molecule assemblies to complex hybrids such as CNT/Si and CNT/DNA nanostructures. The latest experimental results are followed up with detailed discussions and scientific and technological perspectives to provide a through coverage of major topics including:</p><p>· Light harvesting, energy conversion, photoinduced charge separation and transport in CNT based nanohybrids</p><p>· CNT/polymer composites exhibiting photoactuation; and</p><p>· Optical spectroscopy and structure of CNT/DNA complexes. </p><p>Including original data and a short review of recent research, <i>Photophysics of Carbon Nanotubes Interfaced with Organic and Inorganic Materials</i> makes this emerging field of photophysics and its applications available to academics and professionals working with carbon nanotube composites in fundamental and applied fields</p><p>
