In this paper, the results of experiments on irradiation of the multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT) samples by argon ions with energy of 1 keV are presented. They were obtained by energy loss spectroscopy of reflected electrons and Auger electron spectroscopy.
It was found that ion irradiation of MWNTs decreases the characteristic energy and increases the full width at the half of the maximum (FWHM) of the π-plasmon peak. The plasmon relaxation time was found.
