We theoretically analyze the collective oscillations of 2D electrons in nan
otubes. In the presence of a magnetic field parallel to the tube axis, the
plasmon frequencies undergo Aharonov-Bohm oscillations. The effect can mani
fest itself in infrared absorption and in Raman scattering. We calculate th
e cross sections for inelastic light scattering by plasmons. (C) 2001 MAIK
