NIST only participates in the February and August reviews.
One-dimensional molecules such as single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) offer a unique opportunity to create via covalent surface chemistry new quantum states such as single-photon emitting state (Kartik and Zheng, 2017), and high-temperature organic superconducting state (Little, 1964). Recent progress in controlled modification of SWCNTs using ordered DNA wrapping ( Zheng et al, 2019) provides a facile route to explore such chemistry. This research opportunity aims at applying photo- and redox-chemistry of DNA to obtain programmable covalent surface modification of SWCNTs. The reaction products will be characterized by optical spectroscopy techniques (absorption, fluorescence, resonance Raman, circular dichroism etc.).
