Abstract

We studied the trion (charged exciton) formation and recombination dynamics in hole-doped (7,5) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by performing femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The doping of SWCNTs with holes leads to a fast decay component from an exciton to a trion, and the trion decays with a lifetime of a few picoseconds. The experimental results can be explained by a quantized model accounting for the dark exciton and trion states and the hole number distribution in a SWCNT. Our findings show that the optical responses of SWCNTs can be manipulated by doping of SWCNTs with a small number of holes.
