Nanoparticles-particles with sizes at the nanometer scale in all three dimensions-have attracted much attention because of their unique photonic, electronic, magnetic, and catalytic properties. [1] The assembly of isotropic nanoparticles onto one-dimensional (1D) architectures represents an importan

✦ Synopsis
The optical properties of bundled nanotubes were examined for high-bit-rate telecommunication applications. The diameters of the nanotubes in the bundles were determined to be from 0.6783 to 1.5147 nm, and their chiralities were also determined using resonant vibration modes. Their crystallographic quality was examined using atomic-scale resolution microscopy. Then, we highlight this vicinity performing calculations to determine the intertube equilibrium distance. These simulations integrate van der Waals interactions between nanotubes. Ultrafast and efficient nonlinear absorption properties of bundled nanotube films produced using a simple process were demonstrated and compared with semiconducting quantum-wells.

A dry method for densifying vertically aligned carbon nanotube bundles is proposed and experimentally validated. The process uses the deposition of thin SiO 2 films to seal the porous CNT bundles at low pressure. When the CNT bundles are transferred back to ambient pressure they are densified by the
