Advanced machine learning decision policies for diameter control of carbon nanotubes

Abstract The diameters of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are directly related to their electronic properties, making diameter control highly desirable for a number of applications. Here we utilized a machine learning planner based on the Expected Improvement decision policy that mapped regi...
