J. Azoulay et al., Polarised Raman spectroscopy on a single class of single-wall nanotubes bynano surface-enhanced scattering, CHEM P LETT, 331(5-6), 2000, pp. 347-353
We report on the opportunity of performing polarised Raman spectroscopy on
nanotubes by using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) mechanisms at t
he scale of a single hot site. In conjunction with the opportunity of selec
ting a single class of single wall nanotubes (SWNTs), it opens the way to f
ine spectroscopic studies of carbon nanotubes, Results obtained on a single
class of nanotubes demonstrate first that polarised Raman spectroscopy is
possible when a single hot site of a SERS substrate is selected and second
that in this situation, unambiguous assignment of the modes is possible. (C
