Abstract
The vibrational and electronic properties of Br-2-adsorbed double-wall
carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) were investigated by resonance Raman
scattering. Special attention was given to distinguish the behavior
between S/M and M/S outer/inner semiconducting (S) and metallic (M)
tubes. By using three laser excitation energies 2.33, 1.96, and 1.58 eV,
resonance Raman spectra were obtained for the DWNTs before and after
bromine adsorption, and also for the Br-Br molecular resonance, thereby
facilitating the study of charge transfer between the DWNTs and the
bromine. It was found that Br-2 molecules act as acceptors and that
metallic nanotubes are specially sensitive to the presence of Br-2
molecules even when they constitute the inner tubes of DWNTs.
