Abstract

We have conducted visible pump-THz probe experiments on single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) deposited on quartz substrates. Our results suggest that the photoexcited nanotubes exhibit localized transport due to Lorentz-type photo-induced localized states. These experiments were repeated for ion-implanted, 3-4nm Si nanoclusters in quartz for which a similar behavior was observed.
