Based on thorough Rayleigh scattering, Raman scattering and PL experiments, we are able to demonstrate that the iSCT PL is observed with a quantum yield estimated as a few 10-6 independently of the semiconducting or metallic nature of the outer tube. This result is mainly attributed to ultrafast exciton transfer from inner to outer tube. Furthermore, by carrying out PL excitation experiments on the (14,1)@(15,12) DWNT, we show that the iSCT PL can be detected through the optical excitation of the outer tube (Figure 1) indicating that the exciton transfer can also occur in the opposite way.References[1] D.I.
