Description

The results of experimental study of SWNTs and MWNTs are presented. They were obtained by XPS, REELS and AES. The samples of SWNTs and MWNTs were periodically irradiated by argon ions (Ar+). The Ar+ energy was 1 keV. The maximum dose (Q) of Ar+ irradiation was 360 μC/cm2. The process of Ar absorption by SWNTs and MWNTs reveals nonlinear character. The dependence of the π+σ-plasmon energy and the full width at the half of the maximum on Q were determined. Possible causes of the observed effects are discussed. The microscopic model is proposed
