| Project Title: | |
| Optical Properties of Carbon Nanotube | |
| ¡@ | |
| Project Description: | |
|
As carbon nanotube is so unique in term of electrical and structural
properties, we would like to find out the effect of different defect
patterns towards the optical properties of some selected carbon nanotubes. Below are two of the possible defect patterns ¡@ |
