Abstract

We have studied the trigonal warping effect in metallic carbon nanotubes using resonance Raman scattering and examining the G′-band profile for individual metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes. We show that the observed splitting in the G′-band phonon spectra is directly correlated with the splitting in the singularities of the joint density of electronic states, i.e., detailed information about the 1D electronic structure is extracted from a phonon measurement. By correlating the phonon data with the calculated electronic structure for several (n,m) nanotubes, we were able to determine the G′-band dispersion [(∂ωG'/∂Elaser) = 108 ± 6 cm-1/eV] by using a single laser energy.
