Here, we report the discovery of an exaltation of the infrared absorption response in single-walled carbon nanotubes from dye molecule interactions. A study performed on dimethylquaterthiophene confined into the hollow core of single-walled carbon nanotubes or π-stacked at the outer surface of the latter leads to a symmetry breaking, allowing us to probe interactions between both subsystems. The nature of these interactions is discussed taking into account the tube diameter. This new phenomenon opens a new route to detect weak vibrations thanks to a confinement effect. %G English %L hal-01421543 %U https://hal.science/hal-01421543 %~ CEA %~ CNRS %~ ENSC-MONTPELLIER %~ ICG %~ L2C %~ PUBNIMBE %~ INC-CNRS %~ IRAMIS-NIMBE %~ CEA-UPSAY %~ UNIV-PARIS-SACLAY %~ CEA-UPSAY-SACLAY %~ MIPS %~ CHIMIE %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ GS-ENGINEERING %~ IRAMIS %~ GS-CHIMIE %~ GS-PHYSIQUE %~ INSTITUT-SCIENCES-LUMIERE %~ UM-2015-2021
