Reaction, diffusion and dissociation of excitons on carbon nanotubes
Reaction, diffusion and dissociation of excitons on carbon nanotubes
Photoexcitation of carbon nanotubes generates excitons which decay by exciton-exciton annihilation at sufficient density. We examine this decay under conditions of one, few and many excitons per nanotube. A classic 1D reaction-diffusion behaviour is observed, with decay
limited by diffusion for t>3ps and by reaction for t<3ps. At high
densities the exciton population saturates, and by analysis of the rate
equations we show that this is consistent with dissociation of excitons
when their spacing is 1.3nm, close to the exciton length.

Abstract
Photoexcitation of carbon nanotubes generates excitons which decay by exciton-exciton annihilation at sufficient density. We examine this decay under conditions of one, few and many excitons per nanotube. A classic 1D reaction-diffusion behaviour is observed, with decay
limited by diffusion for t>3ps and by reaction for t<3ps. At high
densities the exciton population saturates, and by analysis of the rate
equations we show that this is consistent with dissociation of excitons
when their spacing is 1.3nm, close to the exciton length.
