Determination of nanotubes properties by Raman spectroscopy.
The basic concepts and characteristics of Raman spectra from single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs, both isolated and bundled) are presented. The physical properties of the SWNTs are introduced, followed by the conceptual framework and characteristics of their Raman spectra. Each Raman feature, namely the radial breathing mode, the tangential G band, combination modes and disorder-induced bands are discussed, addressing their physical origin, as well as their capability for characterizing SWNT properties.
