Raman modes of metallic carbon nanotubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The anomalous resonant behavior of the tangential Raman modes of carbon nanotubes has been studied in the critical region of laser energies 1.7–2.2 eV. The special enhancement of the Raman modes is explained by a model that takes into account the transition between the singularities in the one-dimensional density of electronic states for the metallic nanotubes and the distribution of diameters in the sample. The results agree with direct measurements of the electronic density of states for the metallic nanotubes and establish their association with the specially enhanced high frequency, first-order Raman modes. @S0163-1829~98!50848-X#

Raman Scattering in Carbon Nanotubes
The vibrational properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes reflect the electron and phonon confinement as well as the cylindrical geometry of the tubes. Raman scattering is one of the prime techniques for studying the fundamental properties of carbon tubes and nanotube characterization. The most important phonon for sample characterization is the radial-breathing mode, an in-phase radial move...
متن کاملVariable electron-phonon coupling in isolated metallic carbon nanotubes observed by Raman scattering.
We report the existence of broad and weakly asymmetric features in the high-energy (G) Raman modes of freely suspended metallic carbon nanotubes of defined chiral index. A significant variation in peak width (from 12 cm(-1) to 110 cm(-1)) is observed as a function of the nanotube's chiral structure. When the nanotubes are electrostatically gated, the peak widths decrease. The broadness of the R...

Rayleigh scattering spectra and Raman spectra from single bundles of aligned single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been obtained with dark field optical microscopy and Raman microscopy. Rayleigh scattering spectrum reveals resonance peaks due to the optically allowed interband transitions in SWNTs. The intensity of the resonance peaks was found to depend strongly on the incident light polar...

Raman spectroscopy is a powerful non destructive technique for the characterization of carbon materials, and is a fundamental tool in the recent advances in the understanding of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Raman experiments probe the optical phonons, allowing to assess the vibrational properties of the analyzed materials. A strong interplay exists between temperature (T ) and phonon f...
