(Received 23 May 2007; accepted 13 September 2007; published online 18 October 2007)

The effect of impurities on the properties of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was investigated with multiple analytical techniques. Charge transfer is believed to occur between the impurities and the SWNTs as observed by combining the Raman scattering and x-ray photoelectron measurements. The impurity condition (type and level) was found to strongly affect the electronic and vibrational properties of the SWNT. The metal catalysts in the impurity usually behave as electron donors, which can downshift the graphitic (G) band as well as the radial breathing mode frequencies. The low temperature air oxidation of as-prepared SWNT material usually upshifts the radial breathing mode Raman peaks to higher frequencies.
