Magneto-optical spectroscopy of carbon nanotubes

We review our recent optical experiments on single-walled carbon nanotubes in high magnetic fields. The data revealed magnetic-field-induced optical anisotropy as well as broadening, splittings, and shifts of interband absorption and photoluminescence peaks. Quantitative comparison with theoretical predictions based on the Aharonov–Bohm effect is presented. r 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 73.22.� f; 78.67.Ch; 75.75.+a
