Optical Detection of the Aharonov-Bohm Phase in Carbon Nanotubes in Ultrahigh Magnetic Fields
Junichiro Kono
Abstract: This talk will describe our recent magneto-optical studies of
micelle-suspended single-walled carbon nanotubes in aqueous solutions.
Using magneto-absorption, magneto-photoluminescence, and
magneto-photoluminescence-excitation spectroscopies in ultrahigh magnetic
fields, we have detected optical signatures of the Aharonov-Bohm effect
[1] (predicted more than 10 years ago by Ajiki and Ando [2]) and
determined the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy of semiconducting
nanotubes [3].
