| Research Abstract |
Optical properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene, which are novel low-dimensional material composed of carbon atoms, have theoretically been studied and compared with those of semiconductor-compound quantum structures. In carbon nanotubes, its one-dimensionality strongly enhances the interaction effect so that they have higher potential for external-field control of the optical responses. Absorption coefficient of monolayer graphene is known to have a universal value proportional to the fine-structure constant. This study has clarified that the continuum absorption of band-to-band transitions in semiconductor quantum wells also has the same value.
