USES OF A CARBON NANOBUD MOLECULE AND DEVICES COMPRISING THE SAME

摘要

A carbon nanobud molecule (3, 9, 18, 23, 29, 36) having at least one fullerene part covalently bonded to the side of a tubular carbon molecule is used to interact with electromagnetic radiation in a device, wherein the interaction with electromagnetic radiation occurs through relaxation and/or excitation of the carbon nanobud molecule.
