The probe energy dependence of phonon amplitude as well as preferential occurrence between Stokes and anti-Stokes components in response to chirped-pulse excitation are well explained within our model. The temperature dependence of the observed dephasing rate clearly exhibits a thermally-activated component, with an activation energy that coincides with the frequency of the radial breathing mode (RBM). This fact provides a clear picture for the dephasing of optical phonons by random frequency modulation via interaction with the RBM through anharmonicity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-10-19T15:54:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "78.67.Ch", "61.48.De", "63.22.Gh", "78.30.Na" ], "keywords": [ "single-wall carbon nanotubes", "impulsive stimulated raman scattering", "g-band phonons", "probe energy dependence" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2012, "month": "Oct", "volume": 86, "number": 16, "pages": 161415 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvB..86p1415K" } } }
