New Preprint: Deterministic Formation of Single Organic Color Centers in Carbon Nanotubes
We are excited to announce the release of our latest research paper on arXiv titled “Deterministic Formation of Single Organic Color Centers in Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes”. This work presents a significant advancement in the field of quantum light sources using carbon nanotubes. Research Highlights In this work, we demonstrate: A novel technique for deterministic creation of single organic color centers in carbon nanotubes using in-situ photochemical reaction Precise control over individual color center formation through monitoring of discrete photoluminescence intensity changes Position-controlled formation of color centers, validated through photoluminescence imaging Confirmation of quantum nature through photon antibunching measurements This technique represents a crucial step forward in engineering atomically defined quantum emitters in carbon nanotubes, paving the way for their integration into advanced quantum photonic devices and systems.
