Abstract
The high-energy vibrational modes of metallic carbon nanotubes are believed to be softened compared to the semiconducting ones by a Peierls-like transition. The Raman modes, when excited with a red laser to enhance the metallic tubes, were found to exhibit an exceptionally high sensitivity to electrochemical doping. Our data may be interpreted as controlling the Peierls-like instability in metallic tubes with the applied potential. We also discuss the limits of applicability of the double-layer charging model and show Raman evidence for a hysteretic transition to a chemical doping regime.Keywords
