Abstract

We studied the exciton energy transfer in pairs of semiconducting nanotubes using high-resolution optical microscopy and spectroscopy on the nanoscale. Photoluminescence from large band gap nanotubes within bundles is observed with spatially varying intensities due to distance-dependent internanotube transfer. The range of efficient energy transfer is found to be limited to a few nanometers because of competing fast nonradiative relaxation responsible for low photoluminescence quantum yield.
