12 Nanotube Assignments from Pattern of sin 3θ/R Deviations Experimental Ratio Plot Theory (includes sin3θ/r deviations) By comparing the experimental and theoretical ratio plots the [n 1,n ] values (and hence R and θ) for each peak can be identified. Corroborated by Raman spectroscopy of the radial breathing mode.
13 The Ratio Problem Free electron theory predicts E / E11 for R Consequence of linear dispersion of graphene E E Increasing diameter
14 Scaling of Optical Transition Energies (Kane,Mele 04) Free electrons for θ=0 0 E ( ) v /3 nn R = Fn R ν sin 3θ / R deviations are clear Separatrix between ν=+1 and ν= 1describes nearly armchair tubes with θ=0, where sin 3θ/R deviations vanish.
15 Scaling of Optical Transition Energies (Kane,Mele 04) Free electrons for θ=0 0 E ( ) v /3 nn R = Fn R ν sin 3θ / R deviations are clear Nearly armchair [p+1,p] tubes Separatrix between ν=+1 and ν= 1describes nearly armchair tubes with θ=0, where sin 3θ/R deviations vanish.
16 Scaling of Optical Transition Energies (Kane,Mele 04) Nearly armchair [p+1,p] tubes Free electrons for θ=0 0 E ( ) v /3 nn R = Fn R Ratio Problem: E / E 11 < Blue Shift Problem: E R E R 0 nn( ) > nn( ) Worse for large R Nonlinear scaling E nn (R)=E(q n =n/3r) accounts for both effects.
17 Electron Interactions in large radius tubes For πr>>a electron interactions can be classified into three regimes, which lead to distinct physical effects. Long Range Interaction : (r > πr) One Dimensional in character Strongly bound excitons Intermediate Range Interaction : (a < r < πr) Two Dimensional in character Nonlinear Scaling with n/r Short Range Interaction : (r~a) Atomic in character Exciton Fine Structure
18 Long Range Interaction : (r > πr) V( z) = e ε z Renormalize Single Particle Gap Increase observed energy gap Leads to exciton binding Decrease observed energy gap Single Particle and Particle hole gaps both scale linearly with 1/R : E 0 G ~ v / R F / m*~ v F R E R R f e ε ( ) ~ ( v F / ) ( / v F) Gap renormalization and exciton binding largely cancel each other.
19 Cancellation of gap renormalization and exciton binding: Single Particle excitation: Self energy ~ e /εr Depends on dielectric environment Particle-hole excitation: Bound exciton is unaffected by the long range part of the interaction. The cancellation is exact for an infinite range interaction Coulomb Blockade Model : Bare gap: Interaction energy: U N / Single particle gap + U Particle-hole gap
20 Intermediate Range Interaction: (a < r < πr) Leads to nonlinear q log q dispersion of graphene. Responsible for nonlinear scaling of E 11 (n/r). Short Range Interaction: (r ~ a) Leads to fine structure in the exciton spectrum: S=0,1, etc. Splittings ~ e a / R

27 Exciton effects: Compute particle-hole binding due to statically screened interaction (similar to Ando 97). Related Work: Spaturu et al (Berkeley) PRL 03 Perebeinos et al (IBM) PRL 04 E/E 11 0 Lowest exciton dominates oscillator strength for each subband. Lineshape for absorption is not that of van Hove singularity. Large bandgap renormalization mostly cancelled by exciton binding.

31 Conclusion Fluorescence spectroscopy data for nearly armchair tubes is well described by a systematic large radius theory. D interactions: - q log q renormalization of graphene dispersion. - Non linear scaling with 1/R. - Explains ratio problem and blue shift problem. 1D interactions - Lead to large gap enhancement AND large exciton binding - Largely cancels in optical experiments revealing D effects. Short Range interactions -Lead to fine structure in exciton levels -Dark Ground State Experiments: measure single particle energy gap - Tunneling (complicated by screening) - Photoconductivity - Activated transport
