13. 2+mn)/π, where d = 0.142 nm is the nearest neighbor carbon-carbon distance (m,n) are the chiral vector components. Raman scattering from SWNTs is strongly resonant: (Refs. 1 and 12) 514.5 nm line excites mostly the semiconducting SWNTs, whereas that of 632.8 nm is more effective for excitation of the metallic nanotubes (Ref. 12). Metallic are nanotubes with 2n + m = 3q, where q is an integer (Ref. 1).
