Abstract
Individual WS2 multiwalled nanotubes, 2-3 micron in length, and with 15 - 25 nm diameter were mounted on AFM cantilevers tips. The nanotube orientation along the cantilever cone axis was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Micro-Raman spectra of these individual nanotubes showed similar vibrational frequencies as in the bulk material. The highly anisotropic shape of the nanotubes, however, leads to a strong antenna effect as it is known from single-walled carbon nanotubes. A qualitative assessment of the radiation field screening for polarization perpendicular to the nanombe axis is given.
