Ma. Pimenta et al., The anomalous dispersion of the disorder-induced and the second-order Raman bands in carbon nanotubes, BRAZ J PHYS, 30(2), 2000, pp. 423-427
In this work we have studied the dispersion of the disorder-induced (D) and
the second-order (G') Raman bands in single wall carbon nanotubes using se
veral laser excitation energies (E-laser) in the range 1.5-3.0 eV. An anoma
lous step-like behavior was observed in the E-laser dependence of the G'-ba
nd frequency. This result is interpreted as a manifestation of the one-dime
nsional (1D) behavior of the phonon spectrum in carbon nanotubes.
