Resonance Raman scattering is used to determine the radial breathing mode (RBM) frequency $({\ensuremath{\omega}}_{\text{RBM}})$ dependence on tube diameter $({d}_{t})$ for single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). We establish experimentally ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{\text{RBM}}=227.0/{d}_{t}$ as fundamental relation pristine SWNTs. All other RBM values found in literature can be explained by an upshift due mostly van der Waals interaction between SWNTs and environment.
Substitutional phosphorus doping in single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is investigated by density functional theory and resonance Raman spectroscopy. Electronic structure calculations predict charge localization on the atom, generating nondispersive valence conduction bands close to Fermi level. Besides confirming sustitutional doping, accurate analysis of electron phonon renormalization effects double-resonance process elucidates different nature donor (localized) when compared nitrogen...
Here we report the synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotube bundles by chemical vapor deposition in presence electron donor elements (N, P, and Si). In order to introduce each dopant into graphitic lattice, different precursors containing doping (benzylamine, pyrazine, triphenylphosphine, methoxytrimethylsilane) were added at various concentrations ethanol/ferrocene solutions. The synthesized nanotubes byproduct characterized microscopy Raman spectroscopy. Our results reveal intrinsic...

Abstract Aluminum-doped zinc oxide thin films, known by the acronym AZO, were grown radio-frequency magnetron sputtering method (rf-magnetron sputtering) onto glass substrate at room temperature and without posterior heat treatment.

Our showed low electrical resistivity high transmittance in visible region comparable to...
The investigation of defects in transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are capital interest for future applications because they strongly change the optical, electronic, or vibrational properties such materials.

Abstract Substitutional doping on single‐wall an multi‐wall carbon nanotubes is possible by adding new atoms during the growing process. In this work we analyze changes in Raman spectra of SWNT samples substitutionaly doped with boron, nitrogen, and phosphorous. We find that small amounts dopants are not enough to change frequency tangential G mode, but there a doping‐dependent shift ω when P‐doped SWNTs measured at high laser power, indicating can thermal properties bundles. This result...
