Abstract
Raman spectroscopy on the radial breathing mode is a common tool to determine the diameter d or chiral indices (n,m) of single-wall carbon nanotubes. In this work we present an alternative technique to determine d and (n,m) based on the high-energy G(-) mode. From resonant Raman scattering experiments on 14 highly purified single chirality (n,m) samples we obtain the diameter, chiral angle, and family dependence of the G(-) and G(+) peak position. Considering theoretical predictions we discuss the origin of these dependences with respect to rehybridization of the carbon orbitals, confinement, and electron-electron interactions. The relative Raman intensities of the two peaks have a systematic chiral angle dependence in agreement with theories considering the symmetry of nanotubes and the associated phonons.
