摘要
We have investigated carrier relaxation dynamics in both metallic and semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes by means of femtosecond pump-probe experiments. The femtosecond excitation pulse bleaches the absorption bands of both metallic and semiconducting tubes. In the metallic tubes, the change in the absorption spectra vary from bleaching to broadening. The relaxation aspects of the spectral features change from internal thermalization to electron temperature cooling. In the semiconducting tubes, the nonradiative channel governes the recovery behavior via trapping at defects in the SWNTs.
