Abstract

We experimentally quantify the Raman scattering from individual carbyne chains confined in double-walled carbon nanotubes. We find that the resonant differential Raman cross section of confined carbyne is on the order of 10^-22 cm² sr^-1 per atom, making it the strongest Raman scatterer ever reported.

Keywords: Raman scattering; Raman scattering cross section; TERS; carbyne; linear carbon chains.
