- depending on the intertube separation. In the composite
described here, each nanotube within the bundles is separated by an
insulating glassy layer. This separation is 3.34-5.01 nm, which is quite a
large distance for charge carriers to migrate between the nanotubes. Thus,
the fluorescence of the SWCNT bundles in the composite is a result of the
