Abstract

In this paper, the results of experiments on irradiation of the singlewall (SWNT) and multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT) samples by argon ions are presented. They were obtained by reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy.

Results indicate the π-plasmon energy Eπ and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the plasma peak were sensitive to the dose of ion irradiation. In particular, the π-plasmon energy Eπ decreases and the plasma peak broadens with the increase of the dose of Ar+irradiation.

The π-plasmon peak broadening is associated with damage of carbon nanotubes under ion irradiation. Possible causes of the carbon nanotubes deformation and influence of deformation on π-band structure of carbon nanotubes are discussed.
