Map of the Month – Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes

August’s Map of the Month highlights a recent application note studying SWCNTs. The have a broad range of applications and studying the chiral indexes present in a SWCNT sample is crucial for understanding their properties. Photoluminescence spectroscopy is one of the most helpful tools to study such samples, in the form of excitation emission matrix spectroscopy.
