title: Tuning of electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes under homogenous conditions.
abstract: Reversible and non-bonding interaction between SWNTs and ODCB is observed from the analyses of visible near-infrared absorption data and Raman spectroscopies (see spectra). The solvent effect on SWNTs effectively controls the electronic structure of SWNTs under homogeneous conditions.The dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in o-dichlorobenzene (ODCB) is studied. Reversible and non-bonding interaction between SWNTs and ODCB is observed from the analyses of visible near-infrared (Vis-NIR) absorption data and Raman spectroscopy. This interaction should be one of the important factors for stable dispersion of SWNTs in ODCB. The solvent effect on SWNTs effectively controls the electronic structure of SWNTs under homogeneous conditions.
