bundled single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) produced by the HiPCO process. We find
that the normalized pressure derivative of the R-band frequency, Φ= d (ln ω R)/d P,
increases with increasing nanotube diameter D as Φ∼ D 2. Using results from elastic
theory, we show that the contribution to Φ from isolated SWNT,(= Φ 0), is small, which
agrees with previous model calculations. We show here that Φ 0 is independent of D. We …
