Calculation of optical matrix elements in carbon nanotubes made simple

ORAL

Abstract

We have derived analytical expressions for dipole matrix elements describing interband optical transitions in carbon nanotubes for arbitrary light polarization and nanotube chiralities. We studied how the dependences of the optical matrix elements on the quantum numbers of the electronic states are affected by the time reversal symmetry.
