[RESEARCH THEME]
The electroluminescence of carbon nanotubes has interesting properties that result from their one dimensionality and nanoscale structure, which brings up the possibility of their applications in optoelectronics.
This project aims at elucidating the underlying physical mechanism of electroluminescence in carbon nanotubes, thereby assessing their potential for optoelectronics.
Furthermore, establishing device structures that cause light emission from carrier injection as in conventional semiconductors may open pathways to novel nanoscale optoelectronics.
