Popis: The photoluminescence (PL) intensity of a single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) is calculated for each ( n , m ) by multiplying the photon-absorption, relaxation and photon-emission matrix elements. The intensity depends on chirality and “type I vs type II” for smaller diameter semiconducting SWNTs (less than 1 nm). By comparing the calculated results with the experimental PL intensity of SWNTs prepared by chemical vapor deposition at different temperatures, we find that the abundance of ( n , m ) nanotubes with smaller diameters should exhibit a strong chirality dependence, which may be related to the stability of their caps.
