Nanotubes in surfactant in water<br />

Nanotubes in surfactant in water: Transient absorption<br />

• Optical absorption<br />

depends on<br />

temperature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

nanotube<br />

• Assume heat<br />

capacity is<br />

comparable to<br />

graphite<br />

• Cooling rate (RC<br />

time constant)<br />

gives interface<br />

conductance<br />

G = 12 MW m -2 K -1
