Abstract

We observed the lowest optical transitions (E-11(S)) in separated carbon nanotubes by resonant Raman spectroscopy. Radial breathing mode spectra were collected varying the excitation energy in the near-infrared from 1.15 to 1.48 eV. From resonance profiles we obtained the E-11(S) energies of 11 nanotubes, extending the experimental Kataura plot. Strong Raman signal from tubes with nu=(n-m)mod3=+1 and from tubes that were absent in photoluminescence support the theory of exciton resonance. The measured Raman intensities agree well with the calculated optical absorption and electron-phonon coupling obtained with first-principles and empirical methods. A remaining factor of similar to 3 can be due to a higher abundance of armchairlike tubes or differences of the absorption and vibrational coupling between correlated (excitons) and uncorrelated electron-hole pairs.
