I-band-like non-dispersive inter-shell interaction induced Raman lines in the D-band region of double-walled carbon nanotubes

Applied Physics A volume 118, pages 587–593 (2015)Cite this article

Abstract

Non-dispersive, inter-layer interaction induced Raman peaks (I bands)—in the region of the D band—have been observed recently for bilayer graphene, when the two layers were rotated with respect to each other. Here, similar observations for double-walled carbon nanotubes are theoretically predicted. The prediction is based on double resonance theory, involving non-zone-centered phonons, and the effect of disorder is replaced by interaction between the two tubes.
