Abstract
We report that symmetry breaking by a magnetic field can drastically increase the photoluminescence quantum yield of single-walled carbon nanotubes, by as much as a factor of 6, at low temperatures. To explain this we have developed a theoretical model based on field-dependent exciton band structure and the interplay of Coulomb interactions and the Aharonov−Bohm effect. This conclusively explains our data as the first experimental observation of dark excitons 5−10 meV below the bright excitons.
