Recent experimental work on the chemical functionalization of single-wall carbon nanotubes
and its implication on the tubes' electronic and vibrational properties are surveyed. The …

In this work we review the basic properties of carbon nanotubes from the standpoint of group
theory. The zone folding scheme is reviewed in the light of the helical symmetry of the …

Raman spectroscopy is the inelastic scattering of light by matter. Being highly sensitive to
the physical and chemical properties of materials, as well as to environmental effects that …

We report G-band resonance Raman spectra of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) at
the single-nanotube level. By measuring 62 different isolated SWNTs resonant with the …

We present an extensive first-principles study of the phonons in boron nitride nanotubes
using density functional perturbation theory in the local density approximation. Based on the …

The basic concepts and characteristics of Raman spectra from single–wall carbon
nanotubes (SWNTs, both isolated and bundled) are presented. The physical properties of …

A review is presented of one-dimensional cutting lines that are utilized to obtain the physical
properties of carbon nanotubes from the corresponding properties of graphite by the zone …

We report a detailed study of the vibrational properties of BN single-walled nanotubes and of
the BN monolayer. Our results have been obtained from a well-established tight-binding …

The phonon dispersions and atomic displacements for single-wall carbon nanotubes of
arbitrary chirality are calculated. The full symmetry is implemented. The approach is based …

Phonon-dispersion curves for a series of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT's) have
been obtained by ab initio supercell approach. Force constants are calculated using norm …
