Carbon Nanotubes Under High Pressure Probed by Resonance Raman Scattering

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
High-Pressure Crystallography

Abstract

The power of Raman spectroscopy for the study of the high-pressure evolution of carbon nanotubes is shown. After an introduction to carbon nanotubes and its resonance Raman scattering signal, we discuss the high-pressure Raman studies on single-wall carbon nanotubes with particular emphasis on the identification of pressure-induced structural and electronic transitions.
