Resonant Raman Scattering of Interacting Two-Channel Quantum Wires

Resonant Raman scattering of degenerate interacting two-channel quantum wire is studied. {\it All} collective excitations of two-channel quantum wire are shown to give rise to peaks in the polarized Raman spectra near resonance. If there exist certain symmetries among interactions, a resonant peak can also appear in the {\it depolarized} Raman spectra, in constrast to the single-channel case studied by Sassetti and Kramer. We also calculate the explicit form of the scattering cross-section away from the peaks. The above features may be experimentally verified in armchair carbon nanotube systems.
