For infinite DCNTs, mathematical relations are derived to estimate the diameter of the inner and outer tubes from the knowledge of their experimental mid-infrared spectra. The infrared spectra of DCNTs with a finite length are also calculated using the spectral moments method. We observe additional infrared bands as a function of the relative lengths of the inner and outer tubes. Bands located below 900 cm-1 give reliable information about these lengths. %G English %L hal-01308176 %U https://hal.science/hal-01308176 %~ CNRS %~ ENSC-MONTPELLIER %~ ICG %~ L2C %~ INC-CNRS %~ MIPS %~ CHIMIE %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021 %~ TEST2-HALCNRS
