We study exciton (EX) dynamics in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) included in polymethylmethacrylate by two-color pump-probe experiments with unprecedented temporal resolution. In the semiconducting SWNTs, we resolve the intersubband energy relaxation from the EX2 to the EX1 transition and find time constants of about 40 fs. The observation of a photoinduced absorption band strictly correlated to the photobleaching of the EX1 transition supports the excitonic model for primary excitations in SWNTs. We also detect in the time domain coherent oscillations due to the radial breathing modes at 250 cm1.

Abstract

We study exciton (EX) dynamics in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) included in polymethylmethacrylate by two-color pump-probe experiments with unprecedented temporal resolution. In the semiconducting SWNTs, we resolve the intersubband energy relaxation from the EX2 to the EX1 transition and find time constants of about 40 fs. The observation of a photoinduced absorption band strictly correlated to the photobleaching of the EX1 transition supports the excitonic model for primary excitations in SWNTs. We also detect in the time domain coherent oscillations due to the radial breathing modes at 250 cm1.
