Chirality assignment of single-walled carbon nanotubes with strain.

Strain-induced band gap shifts that depend strongly on the chiral angle have been observed by optical spectroscopy in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Uniaxial and torsional strains are generated by changing the environment surrounding the SWCNTs, using the surrounding D2O ice temperature or...
