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].
