    Abstract

    The influence of impurities in boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) on their photoluminescence (PL) behaviors has been investigated. Similar PL spectra were obtained from the bulk disk samples of cold-pressed BNNTs and dispersed individual BNNTs deposited on a CaF2 substrate. Metal impurities such as catalyst Fe and coated Au particles do not affect PL emissions from BNNTs if they do not change nanotube electronic structures.
