Abstract :
Metallic single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) films on space qualified solar cell coverglass were irradiated with 100 keV protons at doses of 1 × 1013 and 1 × 1014 protons/cm2. The samples were analyzed using UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and four-point probe measurements. The results indicate that defects are not introduced into the metallic carbon nanotubes after irradiation.
