Abstract:
Polarized Raman scattering studies on single-walled carbon nanotubes highly separated into semiconductor (pure 99%) and metallic (pure 98%) components and stiff layered structure of surfactant intercalated with tri-layers graphene (TLG) were accomplished under resonant and non-resonant optical excitation wavelength. Whatever the optical excitation wavelength and supports (Au, Ag) used, different configuration of surface-enhanced Raman scattering on single-walled carbon nanotubes highlights an abnormally anti-Stokes Raman emission, only in the case of semiconductor component. Besides this, a strongly anisotropic Raman emission of the semiconductor component is also revealed depending on the light polarized related to the axes of the nanotubes with a different profile of the G band in the anti-Stokes branch. Orientation of the polarized laser excitation light along to the TLG’s edges induces a highest intensity of the D and 2D Raman bands in relation to the perpendicular incidence of radiation to the plane of the structure. The two lorentzian components of 2D Raman band splitted by ~40 cm-1 arise from a Casimir effect which is a consequence of interplanar forces that move the planes containing hexagonal rings of carbon atoms relative to each other.
