25. There are many indications that the RBM frequency of interacting nanotubes is higher than that of isolated nanotubes, however there is not agreement on the upshift (see Refs. 21 and 24). We have used a large estimation of the upshift which is of the same order of the result obtained in the study of an isolated SWNT strongly interacting with a substrate (see Ref. 10).
