A decrease in the Raman intensity of damaged SWNTs without the appearance of new peaks is commonly observed regardless of damage mechanism and is not characteristic of low-energy irradiation damage. As an example in the case of knock-on damage, see Y. J. Jung et al. Nano Lett. 2004, 4, 1109. We think that the spectral decrease is caused by a decrease of the resonance enhancement. Structural disorder would largely broaden the characteristic joint density of states of SWNTs.
