Abstract
Double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) with a purity higher than 99% were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition, and their Raman spectra were observed at different excitation wavelengths λex. The spectra had a unique feature compared with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs): the G-band shape was distinctly different from that of SWCNTs and showed a clear λex dependence. The pure DWCNT samples showed complex radial breathing modes (RBM) spectra. The mode peaks were unambiguously classified into those for the inner and outer tubes by applying a simple analytic model considering the interwall interaction. After isolation treatment of the pure bundled samples, we observed RBM signals of DWCNTs having an identical inner tube with different outer tubes. The peculiar behavior of the G-band shape was interpreted by resonance enhancement of the outer tube.
