<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">A single wall carbon nanotube
(SWNT) is a new form of carbon, whose atomic arrangement is equivalent
to a graphene sheet rolled into a cylinder in a seamless way. Due to
its small diameter and high aspect ratio, a SWNT has very unique
electronic and vibrational properties. A widerly-tunable micro Raman
instrument with diffraction efficiencies exceeding 90% is developed
for studying various properties of SWNTs. Results from the study of
The electronic transition energies, diameter, length, substrate
interaction, and strain level are presented.</font></div>
