## Abstract We examined the influence of continuous laser irradiation on asβprepared and oxidized multiβwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the basis of Raman scattering. Differences between Raman spectra for both types of nanotube samples are shown. We evaluate the influence of the laser power den

β¦ Synopsis
We have chemically grafted methoxypheny functions on HiPco single-walled carbon nanotubes through a radical procedure. To characterise the efficiency of this functionalisation, the materials have been examined via Raman spectroscopy at five laser excitation energies (1.96, 2.33, 2.41, 2.54 and 2.71 eV). This work concentrates mostly on the radial breathing mode band between 150 and 300 cm Γ1 . Clear evidence is put forward showing that those tubes which are preferentially functionalised are the smaller-diameter semiconducting tubes and the metallic tubes.

## Abstract This paper presents an overview on the principles of tipβenhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). The technique can be used to record Raman images of carbon nanotubes with high spatial resolution. The high resolution is made possible by local enhancement of the incident and scattered fields.
