1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The excitonic structure of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is chirality dependent and consists of multiple singlet and triplet excitons (TEs) of which only one singlet exciton (SE) is optically bright. In particular, the dark TEs have a large impact on the integration of SWCNTs in optoelectronic devices, where excitons are created electrically, such as in infrared light-emitting diodes, thereby strongly limiting their quantum efficiency. Here, we report the characterization of TEs in chirality-purified samples of (6,5) and (7,5) SWCNTs, either randomly oriented in a frozen solution or with in-plane preferential orientation in a film, by means of optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectroscopy. In both chiral structures, the nanotubes are shown to sustain three types of TEs. One TE exhibits axial symmetry with zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameters depending on SWCNT diameter, in good agreement with the tighter confinement expected in narrower-diameter nanotubes. The ZFS of this TE also depends on nanotube environment, pointing to slightly weaker confinement for surfactant-coated than for polymer-wrapped SWCNTs. A second TE type, with much smaller ZFS, does not show the same systematic trends with diameter and environment and has a less well-defined axial symmetry. This most likely corresponds to TEs trapped at defect sites at low temperature, as exemplified by comparing SWCNT samples from different origins and after different treatments. A third triplet has unresolved ZFS, implying it originates from weakly interacting spin pairs. Aside from the diameter dependence, ODMR thus provides insights in both the symmetry, confinement, and nature of TEs on semiconducting SWCNTs.
