X Abstract

We report G -band resonance Raman spectra of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) at the single-nanotube level. By measuring 62 different isolated SWNTs resonant with the incident laser; and having diameters d t ranging between 0.95 nm and 2.62 nm; we have conclusively determined the dependence of the two most intense G -band features on the nanotube structure. The higher-frequency peak is not diameter dependent (Ï G + =1591âcm -1 ); while the lower-frequency peak is given by Ï G - =Ï G + - C / d t 2 ; with C being different for metallic and semiconducting SWNTs ( C M > C S ). The peak frequencies do not depend on nanotube chiral angle. The intensity ratio between the two most intense features is in the range 0.1 < I Ï G - / I Ï G + < 0.3 for most of the isolated SWNTs (â¼90%). Unusually high or low I Ï G - / I Ï G + ratios are observed for a few spectra coming from SWNTs under special resonance conditions; i.e.; SWNTs for which the incident photons are in resonance with the E 44 S interband transition and scattered photons are in resonance with E 33 S . Since the E ii values depend sensitively on both nanotube diameter and chirality; the ( n ; m ) SWNTs that should exhibit such a special G -band spectra can be predicted by resonance Raman theory. The agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental observations about these special G -band phenomena gives additional support for the ( n ; m ) assignment from resonance Raman spectroscopy.
