Micro-Raman spectroscopy of isolated single wall carbon nanotube

Micro-Raman spectroscopy of an isolated single wall carbon nanotube is overviewed in connection with the recent observation of (1) the chirality-dependent G-band Raman intensity, (2) BWF line analysis and (3) D-band feature of an individual single wall carbon nanotube. The localized phonons appeared around a point defect of carbon nanotube might be relevant to D-band intensity.
