   Why are Crystals important for material engineering? This project tested different crystals with varying band gaps in order to demonstrate the relationship between observable optical properties and physical properties of crystals.

2. Optical Property of Single Wall Carbon Nanotube

   20 Aug 2022 | | Contributor(s):: Usha Devathosh, Rice University

   What are the optical properties of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes? Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are 1D cylindrical nanomaterials that resemble a rolled up graphene sheet and have many interesting properties, including the strong fluorescence emission of semi-conducting SWCNTs in the...
