Additional information

Significance of output:

For the first time a statistical technique is utilised for accurately modelling the variation of bandgap and effective mass in SWCNT with respect to its geometrical properties.

A sample size of 1.5 ×10^5 is used for its validation.

This research described led to a best student paper award in ICICDT 2008. The work also paved a way for the development of a novel solar cell structure with high efficiency by utilising the bandgap variability to absorb large range of the solar spectrum and led to an invitation to contribute a chapter in the book “Nano-Bio Sensing” by Springer.
