Abstract:
Coherent phonon dynamics in single-walled carbon nanotubes were studied using broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy in time-frequency domain. Zone-center G-phonons were coherently created by optical excitation with the relaxation time of 1.1 +/- 0.1 ps, while zone-boundary D-phonons showed incoherent behavior, indicating electron-phonon, electron-defect, and phonon-phonon interactions in semiconducting nanotubes.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
