In this paper, the features of the F¨orster resonance energy transfer from excited dye molecules to semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes are investigated, in particular, the dependence of the energy transfer rate on the distance between the dye molecule and the carbon nanotube itself. Analysis of the obtained results shows, in particular, that the energy band gap εg within the limits εg ∼ (0.5–5) × 10−19 J does not significantly affect the energy transfer rate γ(ħΩ), the value of which is determined by the induced dipole moment μeg, the amount of energy transferred in the resonant transfer process ħΩ, and the effective mass of the electron in the semiconductor carbon nanotube m*. The proposed approach sheds a new light on the understanding of the physical process of resonant energy transfer in various types of low-dimensional physical and biological nanostructures.
