Quantized optical vibrational modes of finite-length multi wall nanotubes: optical deformation potential

Abstract Optical vibrational modes are derived for finite-length nanotubes using the elastic continuum approximation. A quantum prescription is applied to facilitate the determination of the quantum-mechanical normalization of optical phonon modes. The dispersion relation is given and the quantum normalized amplitude is used to calculate the optical deformation potential.
