概要(目的・用途・実施内容)/ Abstract (Aim, Use Applications and Contents)

In this project, we demonstrate that h-BN is an ideal substrate for CNTs can could serve as an ideal nano-spacer for CNTs to couple with photonic crystals. 

実験 / Experimental

We utilize the equipments UT-503, UT-604, and UT-900 to prepare the SiO2/Si substrate with the trenches for the growth of suspended CNTs. Having prepared the substrate, we conduct the following processes in RIKEN. We perform deterministic transfer of a CNT and h-BN by taking into account the spectral shifts of the CNT and the cavity modes in contact with h-BN. The fundamental mode of a test nanobeam cavity is redshifted by 27.6 nm after the transfer of an h-BN flake. Based on the shift amount, we seek a target nanobeam whose cavity mode under this particular h-BN flake would match the (13,5) tube emission on h-BN. We then prepare CNT/h-BN/cavity heterostructure based on the shifts.

結果と考察 / Results and Discussion

A PL spectrum of the CNT in Figure 1 has a cavity-coupled narrow line, exhibiting a nearly perfect spectral and spatial matching. Such a perfect matching is achieved since CNT above does not show a considerable quenching effect and is spectral stable without exhibiting any fluctuation over a long time. The successful demonstration of CNT/h-BN heterostructure indicates that other 2D materials such as WSe2 can also be transferred to interact with CNTs. In this heterostructure, novel excitonic physics could be expected.
