TL;DR: In this article, the vibrational spectrum of bundled single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) during the purification process needed to remove metal catalyst and amorphous carbon present in arc-derived SWNT soot was studied.

TL;DR: Wet chemical methods involving ultrasound and amide solvents were used to purify and separate large bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes into individual nanot tubes that could then be transported to silicon or mica substrates to remove amorphous carbon.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the impact of excitation laser power density on the Raman spectrum of small-diameter (5−15 nm) silicon nanowires at low power densities.

TL;DR: A series of Fe and Fe/Mo catalysts, supported on alumina, were examined for Single-Walled Nanotube (SWNT) growth by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) in methane as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Raman microprobe studies of long crystalline Si nanowires reveal for the first time the evolution of phonon confinement with wire diameter and it is found that this parameter is not sensitive to diameter over the range 4-25 nm.
