Data from NanoIntegris Technical Data Sheet histograms.

Diameter was calculated [47] using C1 = 223.5 cm-1?nm, C2 = 12.5 cm-1.

§Extinction coefficient (εave). Data taken from [47].

#Chirality for the main resonant nanotubes was determined from Raman spectra according to [50,51].

Metal catalyst.
