Abstract
First- and second-order Raman spectra of carbon nanotubes produced in helium and argon atmospheres at a pressure ranging from 11 to 92 kPa by arc discharge have been measured and compared with each other. The position and bandwidth of the spectral lines depend on the kind of inert gases and their pressure. The Raman spectra of the nanotubes produced in argon gas atmosphere are much more similar to that of polycrystalline graphite than those of the nanotubes produced in helium gas atmosphere. The position and bandwidth of nanotube Raman peaks change with gas pressure in arc discharge because different diameter distribution of nanotubes is produced at different inert gas pressure. The Raman spectra of nanotubes produced at high pressure is much more like that of graphite than those produced in lower pressure.
