5. CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION ABOUT CARBON NANOTUBES CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION ABOUT CARBON NANOTUBES WE HAVE PRESENTED THE GENERAL INTRODUCTION ABOUT CARBON NANOTUBES

6. CHAPTER 2 RELATION OF CARBON NANOTUBE WITH OTHER CARBON MATERIALS CHAPTER 2 RELATION OF CARBON NANOTUBE WITH OTHER CARBON MATERIALS STARTS WITH THE BONDING BETWEEN CARBON ATOMS AND ENDS WITH THE GRAPHITE INTERACTION COMPOUNDS

7. CHAPTER 3 STUDY OF NANOTUBE GROWTH AND CHARACTERIZATION WE HAVESTUDIED THE GROWTH & CHARACTERIZATION

8. CHAPTER 4 STUDY OF OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF CARBON NANOTUBES AND CALCULATIONS OF ENERGY SEPARATION AS A FUNCTION OF NANOTUBE DIAMETER WE HAVE STUDIED THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF CARBON NANOTUBES AND PRESENTED A METHOD OF CALCULATING ENERGY SEPARATION OF CARBON NANOTUBES AS A FUNCTION OF NANOTUBE DIAMETER. WE HAVE EVALUATED THE ENERGY SEPARATION FOR METALLIC AND SEMI CONDUCTING CARBON NANOTUBES. ON COMPARING OUR THEORITICALLY EVALUATED RESULT WITH THE EXPERIMENT, WE FIND THAT OUR RESULTS FOR BOTH THE NANOTUBES ARE LOWER THAN THE EXPERIMENTAL DATA BUT THE TREND IS SAME FOR NANOTUBE DIAMETER 0.7<dt<3.0. THE ENERGY SEPARATION E(ev) FOR BOTH THE NANOTUBES DECREASES WITH dt. THE VALUE IS MAXIMUM AT dt=0.7 AND LOWER AT dt=3.0 WE HAVE STUDIED THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF CARBON NANOTUBES AND PRESENTED A METHOD OF CALCULATING ENERGY SEPARATION OF CARBON NANOTUBES AS A FUNCTION OF NANOTUBE DIAMETER.

9. CHAPTER 5 CHARACTERISATION OF CARBON NANOTUBES BY RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY WE HAVE PRESENTED A METHOD OF CARBON NANOTUBES BY RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY. WE HAVE CALCULATEDTHE DIAMETER DISTRIBUTION USING EXPRESSION (5.1) AND THE RESULTS IS SHOWN IN TABLE 5T1 WITH SHIFT IN RAMAN SPECTRA. WE OBSERVED THAT G/D RATIO IS A DIRECTMEASURE OF THE QUALITY OF THE SAMPLE.

10. CHAPTER 6 STUDY OF DIAMETER –DEPENDENT RESONANCE RAMAN SCATTERING ANDANALYSIS OF STOKES AND ANT STOKES LIMITS FOR METALLIC NANOTUBE WE HAVE STUDIED THE DIAMETER DEPENDENCE RESONANCE RAMAN SCATERRING AND ANALYSED THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OF STOKES AND ANTI- STOKES LINES FOR METALLIC NANOTUBES. THE WIDTH OF THE METALLIC WINDOW IS OBSERVED IN RESONANT RAMAN EXPERIMENTS AND THROUGH THE ANALYSES OF STOKES AND ANTI-STOKES SPECTRA IT IS ALSO OBSERVED THAT THE SPECTRA OF DENSITY OF STATES (DOS) FOR SINGLE WALL NANOTUBES (SWNTs) HAVE SOME STRONG CHIRALITY DEPENDENCE. FOR METALLIC NANOTUBES THE DOS PEAKS ARE FOUND TO BE SPILIT IN TWO PEAKS BECAUSE OF THE TRIGONAL WARPING AFFECT,WHILE SEMI CONDUTING NANOTUBES DO NOT SHOW ANY TYPE OF SPLITTING.

11. CHAPTER 7 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION FROM THE ABOVE ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION IN THIS THESIS, WE HAVE COME ACROSS THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSION 1)FROM RESONANCE RAMAN SACTTERING, ONE CAN PROBE THE VARIETY OF NANOTUBE PARAMETER LIKE (a) (n,m) VALUES, DIAMETER AND CHIRALITY, (b) LASER ENERGY, (c) POLARIZATION OF LIGHT, (d) SIMPLE ORIENTATION RELATIVE TO THE POLARIZATION, (e) STOKES AND ANTI STOKES RAMAN SPECTRO etc. MICRO – RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY HAS BECOME A STANDARD TOOL FOR CHARACTERISING NANOTUBE AND NANO – MATERIALS. 2)IN SINGLE NANOTUBE SPECTROSCOPY, ALL RAMAN PEAKS COME FROM THE SAME SWNT, SO THAT THE TOTAL RAMAN SPECTRA CONTAINS A WEALTH OF INFORMATION WHICH NEEDS TO BE INTERPRETED FOR SELF CONSISTENCY FROM THE ABOVE ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION IN THIS THESIS, WE HAVE COME ACROSS THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSION 1)FROM RESONANCE RAMAN SACTTERING, ONE CAN PROBE THE VARIETY OF NANOTUBE PARAMETER LIKE (a) (n,m) VALUES, DIAMETER AND CHIRALITY, (b) LASER ENERGY, (c) POLARIZATION OF LIGHT, (d) SIMPLE ORIENTATION RELATIVE TO THE POLARIZATION, (e) STOKES AND ANTI STOKES RAMAN SPECTRO etc. MICRO – RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY HAS BECOME A STANDARD TOOL FOR CHARACTERISING NANOTUBE AND NANO – MATERIALS. 2)IN SINGLE NANOTUBE SPECTROSCOPY, ALL RAMAN PEAKS COME FROM THE SAME SWNT, SO THAT THE TOTAL RAMAN SPECTRA CONTAINS A WEALTH OF INFORMATION WHICH NEEDS TO BE INTERPRETED FOR SELF CONSISTENCY
