Abstract

ABSTRACT: Combining high resolution transmission electron spectroscopy, electron diffraction, and resonant Raman spectroscopy experiments on the same suspended (free-standing) individual carbon nanotubes is the ultimate approach to relate unambiguously the structure and the intrinsic phonon features of these nano-systems. By using this approach, the effect of coupling between nanotubes on the phonons is investigated in two model nano-systems: (i) a bundle of two non-identical SWNTs (inhomogeneous dimer), (ii) double-walled carbon nanotubes.
