Multiple plasmon resonances in naturally-occurring multiwall nanotubes: infrared spectra of chrysotile asbestos

Etienne Balan, Francesco Mauri, Celine Lemaire +4

Chrysotile asbestos is formed by densely packed bundles of multiwall hollow nanotubes. Each wall in the nanotubes is a cylindrically wrapped layer of $M{g}_{3}S{i}_2{O}_5(OH{)}_4$. We sho…
