abstract = {In this thesis, we investigate the possibility of filling
carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown by chemical vapor deposition
(CVD) with guest molecules directly on substrates. This
requires the characterization of CNTs after synthesis. It is
shown by high-resolution TEM and Raman spectroscopy that the
diameter distribution and number of layers of as-grown CNTs
depends on the growth temperature T$_{CVD}$. HRTEM
measurements are seen to induce defects, even when performed
at electron energies as low as 80 keV. Raman spectroscopy,
on the other hand, is non-destructive for individual CNTs at
small laser intensities (P < 0.5mW). This fact motivated us
to attempt a correlation of HRTEM and Raman spectroscopy,
which allowed us to prove the radial phonon-coupling for an
individual multi-walled CNT and a bundle of single-walled
CNTs for the first time experimentally and to confirm our
results by a simple numeric model. Furthermore, it could be
shown that the width of the resonance profiles of radial
Raman modes allows one to determine whether the investigated
CNT is an individual single-walled CNT, located within a
bundle or a layer of a multi-walled CNT. This makes a
determination of the inter-molecular structure of CNTs
possible without damaging the CNTs by TEM imaging. Moreover,
resonant Raman spectroscopy provides important information
about the electronic structure of the investigated CNTs,
which is essential for interpreting future quantum transport
measurements and permits the determination of the atomic
structure of individual CNTs. A second part of this thesis
deals with the synthesis of peapods, CNTs filled with
fullerene molecules such as C60. We present a detailed
characterization of individual CNTs after each step of the
peapod synthesis, focusing especially on the opening of the
as-grown CNTs. A UHV-chamber was built up to avoid reactions
between the opened CNTs and the atmosphere, allowing for the
in situ removal of excess fullerene molecules from the CNTs.
Using this novel method, we obtain clean peapods in
different yields and with different numbers of layers
directly on the substrate, which opens the way for future
quantum transport measurements of these systems.},
