[Study on Raman spectra of multi-walled carbon nanotubes with different parameters]

In order to study the influencing factors on Raman spectroscopy, we research a series of comparative Raman spectroscopy of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) with different tube diameter and length. The results suggest that the G peak and D peak of MWCNT are all red-shifted as compared to that of polycrystalline graphite; In the same conditions, the peak intensity (G peak and D peak) is directly proportional to the diameter of the MWCNT, and inversely proportional to the length of the MWCNT; G peak frequency shift is closely related to the MWCNT diameter and length, which are inversely proportional to the diameter (with identical results of the single-walled carbon nanotube radial breathing modes) and direct proportional to the length. While, the influences of the diameter and length on D peak frequency shift are weak, and future analysis for the reason of this kind of phenomenon is as follows. Subsequently, we investigated the relation between D peak frequency shift and MWCNT aspect ratio, the relationship between G peak frequency shift and aspect ratio is nearly linear increase. Using the same analysis method, we plotted the different graphs of G peak and D peak intensity vs the aspect ratio of MWCNT, respectively. As the expected, the linear degression relation are existent in the two relationships.
