Abstract
Resonant Raman scattering (RRS) measurements made with a tunable laser provide a highly reliable technique to study the shape of the joint density of electronic states (JDOS) of isolated single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). RRS can be used to determine the energy value for the one-dimensional (1D) van Hove singularities of a SWNT with a precision better than 5 meV, thereby providing important information that could be used for subsequent measurements on this same SWNT. With RRS, the measured width of the JDOS is on the order of further demonstrating that SWNTs really provide a remarkably good model for 1D mesoscopic systems.
