Abstract

We present a resonant Raman study of the tangential G-band in metallic SWNTs. By measuring the Raman spectra for isolated SWNTs, we show that the two different lineshapes observed for semiconducting and metallic SWNTs in bundles also occur for isolated SWNTs. A lineshape analysis of the tangential G-band feature for metallic SWNT bundles is presented, showing that only two components are present, the higher frequency component having a Lorentzian lineshape, and the lower one having a Breit–Wigner–Fano (BWF) line-shape. Through comparisons of the Raman tangential G-band spectra from three different diameter distributions of carbon nanotubes, we find that both the frequency and linewidth of the BWF component are diameter dependent.
