Observation of Charged Excitons in Hole-Doped Carbon Nanotubes Using Photoluminescence and Absorption Spectroscopy

Abstract: We report the first observation of trions (charged excitons), three-particle bound states consisting of one electron and two holes, in hole-doped carbon nanotubes at room temperature. When p-type dopants are added to carbon nanotube solutions, the photoluminescence and absorption peaks of the trions appear far below the E 11 bright exciton peak, regardless of the dopant species. The unexpectedly large energy separation between the bright excitons and the trions is attributed to the strong electron-hole exchang… Show more

“…The positive trion consists of two holes and one electron and has been reported for SWNTs, with hole doping inducing a trion at a specific deep level below E 11 in that case. 17 However, here we have many levels, so they cannot be assigned to the trion, or at least they would have to represent various states of charged excitons. Finally, defect states are blamed by others for deep levels.…”

“…Instead, we assume, that the new peaks correspond to trion levels in carbon nanotubes doped by HCl in suspension. [5,12] Trion is a quasi-particle consisting of two holes and one electron. Introduction of acceptors into nanotubes leads to p-type doping, and to excess of holes.…”

“…Although used excitation wavelength (633 nm) is not resonant neither for (6,5) or (6,4) nanotubes and obtained results mainly correspond to SWNTs with other chiralities, some important features should be taken into account.…”
