Abstract
In this work we examine laser treatment of unaligned bulk nanotube samples as a potentially simple and fast purification method. The effects of laser treatment by a 248 nm excimer laser at various pulse lengths and time of exposure are evaluated to gain control and selectivity for the removal of carbon impurities from nanotube samples.
