Can a medium range infrared photon enter a nonotube
Where on the internet did you find this?Bruce Haawkins said:I found this on the internet "In this work, we further develop this idea by shaping the wavefront of the infrared light (at a wavelength of 1064 nm) passing through a 180-nm-radius hole that is surrounded by well-designed groove patterns into predesignated complex patterns such as Latin letters"
No, but I think the quote in post 4 is treating light (semi-)classically. Without a reference, I can't say for sure, but I do know that light does funky things in the near field limit.hilbert2 said:Does a photon even have a position observable in the way how an electron has one?
An IR (infrared) in a nanotube refers to the interaction between infrared light and a carbon nanotube. This interaction can result in changes in the properties and behavior of the nanotube, making it an important topic of study in nanoscience.
An IR can enter a nanotube through a process called resonant light scattering, where the wavelength of the infrared light matches the size and shape of the nanotube. This allows the light to interact strongly with the nanotube, potentially entering and affecting its properties.
The potential applications of IR in nanotubes are wide-ranging and include the development of new nanosensors, nanoelectronics, and nanophotonic devices. Additionally, understanding how IR interacts with nanotubes can lead to advancements in materials science, chemistry, and biomedicine.
The size and shape of a nanotube can significantly affect its interaction with infrared light. Smaller nanotubes tend to have higher resonant frequencies, meaning they interact more strongly with shorter wavelength infrared light. Similarly, the shape of the nanotube can also influence the types of IR interactions that occur.
Yes, there are several challenges in studying IR in nanotubes. One challenge is accurately measuring and controlling the size and shape of the nanotubes, as this can greatly impact their interactions with IR. Additionally, the small size of nanotubes makes it difficult to observe and measure their behavior, and specialized equipment is often needed to study IR interactions at the nanoscale.
