ABSTRACT:
A method for destruction of metallic carbon nanotubes is provided. The method includes irradiating a mixture of semiconducting carbon nanotubes and metallic carbon nanotubes with energy beams (such as laser light), thereby selectively destroying metallic carbon nanotubes or semiconducting carbon nanotubes. The energy beams have energy components for resonance absorption by the metallic carbon nanotubes or semiconducting carbon nanotubes.
