In the present work, the non-resonant Raman active modes were calculated for several diameters, chiralities and sizes for homogeneous and inhomogeneous bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes (BSWCNT's), using the spectral moment’s method (SMM). Additional intense Raman active modes are present in the breathing-like modes (BLM) spectra of these systems in comparison with a single fully symmetric A1g mode characteristic of isolated nanotubes (SWCNT's). The dependence of the frequency of these modes in terms of diameters, lengths and number of tubes is investigated. We find that for finite bundle, additional breathing-like modes (BLM's) appear as a specific signature. Finally, the effects of the inhomogeneous bundles on the Raman spectra were studied.In the present work, the non-resonant Raman active modes were calculated for several diameters, chiralities and sizes for homogeneous and inhomogeneous bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes (BSWCNT's), using the spectral moment’s method (SMM).
