Interaction between concentric Tubes in DWCNTs [PDF]
Eur. Phys. J. B 42, 345 (2004), 2004 A detailed investigation of the Raman response of the inner tube radial breathing modes (RBMs) in double-wall carbon nanotubes is reported. It revealed that the number of observed RBMs is two to three times larger than the number of possible tubes in the studied frequency range.
