摘要

Abstract

The predicted extraordinary properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from theoretical calculations have great potential for many applications. However

reliable experimental determination of intrinsic properties at the single-tube level is currently a matter of concern

and many challenges remain because of the unhandled and nanoscale size of individual nanotubes. Here

we demonstrated a prototype to detect the intrinsic thermal conductivity of the single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and verify the significant non-resonant optical absorption behavior on tiny nanotubes by integrating the nanotube and ice into a new core-shell design. In particular

a reversible optical visualization method based on the individual suspended ultra-long SWCNT was first developed by wrapping a nanotube with ice in the cryogenic air environment. The light-induced thermal effect on the hybrid core-shell structure was used to melt the ice shell

which subsequently acted as a temperature sensor to verify the intrinsic thermal conductivity of the core-like nanotube. More interestingly

we successfully determined for the first time the thermal response phenomenon of the tiny absorption cross section in SWCNT in the vertical-polarization configuration and the significant non-resonant absorption behavior in the parallel-polarization configuration. These investigations will provide a better understanding for the unique optical behaviors of CNT and enable the detection of intrinsic properties of various one-dimensional nanostructures such as nanotubes

nanowires

and nanoribbons.
