Raman intensity of single-wall carbon nanotubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using nonresonant bond-polarization theory, the Raman intensity of a single-wall carbon nanotube is calculated as a function of the polarization of light and the chirality of the carbon nanotube. The force-constant tensor for calculating phonon dispersion relations in the nanotubes is scaled from those for two-dimensional graphite. The calculated Raman spectra do not depend much on the chirality, while their frequencies clearly depend on the nanotube diameter. The polarization and sample orientation dependence of the Raman intensity shows that the symmetry of the Raman modes can be obtained by varying the direction of the nanotube axis, keeping the polarization vectors of the light fixed. @S0163-1829~98!06908-2#

Measuring the uniaxial strain of individual single-wall carbon nanotubes: resonance Raman spectra of atomic-force-microscope modified single-wall nanotubes.
Raman spectroscopy is used to measure the strain in individual single-wall carbon nanotubes, strained by manipulation with an atomic-force-microscope tip. Under strains varying from 0.06%-1.65%, the in-plane vibrational mode frequencies are lowered by as much as 1.5% (40 cm(-1)), while the radial breathing mode (RBM) remains unchanged. The RBM Stokes/anti-Stokes intensity ratio remains unchange...

The radial breathing modes and tangential modes have been systematically measured on a large number of individual semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (thin bundles) suspended between plots (free-standing single-wall carbon nanotubes). The strong intensity of the Raman spectra ensures the precision of the experimentally determined line shapes and frequencies of these modes. The diameter ...

Raman spectroscopy and in situ Raman spectroelectrochemistry have been used to study the influence of defects on the Raman spectra of semiconducting individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The defects were created intentionally on part of an originally defect-free individual semiconducting nanotube, which allowed us to analyze how defects influence this particular nanotube. The form...
