The mechanical stability of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) at high pressure was studied by high-resolution resonant Raman and wavelength-dependent fluorescence-excitation (PLE) spectroscopy resolving the vibrational and electronic resonances of 18 individual chiralities and furthermore even r...
