摘要
Individual tubular graphite cones (TGCs) are characterized using Raman spectroscopy at room temperature. A split G band at 1569-1587 cm(-1) is directly observed from the root to the tip of TGCs without requiring surface electromagnetic and chemical enhancement effects. The G band can be deconvoluted into two Lorentzian peaks at 1571 +/- 2 and 1584 +/- 3 cm(-1), which may be attributed to the resonance enhancement of a single chirality excitation in the innermost tubes and all constituent tubes of the TGCs, respectively. Results suggest that the splitting of G band can be envisaged as a fingerprint for monochirality of tubular carbon nanomaterials. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
