On this basis, we discuss the possibilities to determine the (n,m) indices of an individual SWNT from a single wavelength Raman experiment. We show the efficiency of this approach in assigning the (n,m) structure of different individual nanotubes including all types of achiral SWNTs. Finally, the limits and the accuracy of the method are discussed. %G English %L hal-00496809 %U https://hal.science/hal-00496809 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ LCVN %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2
