Abstract
The use of Raman spectroscopy as a characterization tool for carbon
materials is briefly reviewed with particular emphasis given to
nano-carbons and carbon nanotubes. The observation of Raman spectra from
one carbon nanotube is discussed, including the new physical phenomena
that occur at the single nanotube level, with special emphasis given to
the use of resonance Raman scattering for the structural determination
of (n, m) for individual nanotubes. Examples are given to show how
single nanotube spectroscopy provides insight into the use of Raman
spectroscopy for characterizing nanotube bundles and for carrying out
other properties measurements on individual carbon nanotubes.
