Covalent functionalization of semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) introduces new photoluminescent emitting states. These states are spatially localized around functionalization sites and strongly red-shifted relative to the emission commonly observed from the CNT band-edge exciton state. A particularly important feature of these localized exciton states is that because the exciton is no longer free to diffusively sample photoluminescent quenching sites along the CNT length, its lifetime is significantly extended. We have recently demonstrated that an important relaxation channel of such localized excitons is the electronic-to-vibrational energy transfer (EVET). This process is analogous to the Förster resonance energy transfer except the final state of this process is not electronically, but vibrationally excited molecules of the surrounding medium (e.g., solvent). In this work, we develop a theory of EVET for a nanostructure of arbitrary shape and apply it to the specific case of EVET-mediated relaxation of defect-localized excitons in a covalently functionalized CNT. Here, the resulting EVET relaxation times are in good agreement with experimental data.
