Raman Spectroscopy of Carbon Nanotubes under Axial Strain: Raman Spectroscopy of Carbon Nanotubes under Axial Strain and Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy of Individual Carbon Nanotubes

Product Description
Resonant Raman spectroscopy of individual carbon nanotube bundles under axial strains up to 17% are presented. This strain causes nanotube debundling which gives insight into the nature of the broad metallic G- band. For metallic nanotubes, the G- band upshifts and narrows with strain, making it appear more semiconductor-like. This metal to semiconductor transition is irreversible with strain, indicating that nanotube-nanotube coupling plays a significant role in the observed G- band of metallic nanotubes. The vibrational and electronic properties of these nanotubes under strain are modeled using tight-binding calculations. A systematic study of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of carbon nanotubes. Raman spectra of individual carbon nanotubes are measured before and after depositing silver nanoparticles. Regions exhibiting SERS enhancement were located relative to a grid, allowing subsequent scanning electron microscopy to be performed. SERS enhancement factors up to 134,000, a consistent upshift in the G band Raman frequency and nanoparticle heating in excess of 600°C are revealed.

Product Description
The discovery of fullerenes, with their unique properties, versatility and many potential applications, has launched a new branch of research known as nanotechnology. Aimed at scientists in academia, government and industry, this book provides a concise analysis of fullerene based nanostructures and the use of Raman spectroscopy to elucidate their structure and behaviour. It starts by introducing the concept of nanotechnology before going on to describe the production, structure, properties and current applications of fullerenes. The next chapter is devoted to Raman spectroscopy as a powerful diagnostic tool for the characterization of fullerenes. The book concludes by correlating the previous chapters in a fundamental discussion of current achievements and future challenges.
