摘要
Raman spectra and electrical conductance of individual, pristine, suspended, metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes are measured under applied gate potentials. The G. band is observed to downshift with small applied gate voltages, with the minima occurring at E-F = +/- 1/2E(phonon), contrary to adiabatic predictions. A subsequent upshift in the Raman frequency at higher gate voltages results in a "W"-shaped Raman shift profile that agrees well with a nonadiabatic phonon renormalization model. This behavior constitutes the first experimental confirmation of the theoretically predicted breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation in individual single-walled carbon nanotubes.
