We study the tube size and bundling effects on Raman active breathing-like phonon modes (BLM) and tangential-like phonon mode (TLM) of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNT) in the framework of the bond polarization theory, and use the spectral moment’s method. The Raman active modes are calculated for different diameter and chirality of the inner and outer DWCNT tubes. The dependence of the Raman spectrum of bundles of identical DWCNTs as a function of the size of the bundle is analysed and additional breathing-like modes are predicted in DWCNT bundle of finite size.We study the tube size and bundling effects on Raman active breathing-like phonon modes (BLM) and tangential-like phonon mode (TLM) of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNT) in the framework of the bond polarization theory, and use the spectral moment’s method.
