Carbon nanotubes
Tubes made of carbon atoms with = radiuses, = chiralities.
◮ Different properties.
◮ How to sort nanotubes.

Optical spectrum
◮ A way to sort nanotubes. Monochromatic light sent on CN, low
temp.

I ω1
◮ Optical absorption spectrum /ω
◮ Optical absorption spectrum related to radius & chirality.
◮ explain a part of the optical absorption spectrum (Infrared).
