Heating double wall carbon nanotubes with UV photons

Puech P., Bassil A., Flahaut E., Bacsa W.S., University Paul Sabatier, FR

Light absorption leads inevitably to electronic excitation and inelastic electron scattering, creating phonons and resulting in the increase of the lattice temperature. By using photons with energies significantly above the fundamental band gap of the [...]

Diagnostics of carbon nanotube composites by Raman spectroscopy

Puech P., Bassil A., Barrau S., Demont P., Bacsa R.R., Bacsa W.S., Flahaut E., Bacsa R.R., Bacsa W.S., University Paul Sabatier, FR

Carbon nanotube polymer composites are very promising for applications due to their exceptional mechanical and electronic properties to improve the elastic properties of polymers or to make polymers conductive. The large surface of carbon nanotubes [...]
