Polarized Raman spectra were obtained from a rope of aligned semiconducting single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) in the vicinity of the D band and the G band. Based on group theory analysis and related theoretical predictions, the G-band profile was deconvolved into four intrinsic SWNT components with the following symmetry assignments: 1549 cm(-1) [E-2(E-2g)], 1567 cm(-1) [A(A(1g)) + E-1(E-1g)], 1590 cm(-1) [A(A(1g)) + E-1(E-1g)] and 1607 cm(-1) [E-2(E-2g)]. The frequency shifts of the tangential G modes from the 2D graphitelike E-2g2 frequency are discussed in terms of the nanotube geometry.
