We performed high pressure resonant Raman experiments on well characterized purified single-wall carbon nanotubes up to 40 GPa using argon as pressure transmitting medium. We used two different excitating wavelengths, at 632.8 nm and 514.5 nm. In contrast with other studies no clear sign of phase transformation is observed up to the highest studied pressure of 40 GPa. Our results suggest that the progressive disappearance of the radial breathing modes observed while increasing pressure should not be interpreted as the sign of a structural phase transition. Moreover, a progressive change of profile of the tangential modes is observed. For pressures higher than 20 GPa the profile of those modes is the same for both laser excitations. We conclude that a progressive loss of resonance of single-wall carbon nanotubes under pressure might occur. In addition, after high pressure cycle we observed a decrease of intensity of the radial breathing and tangential modes and a strong increase of the D band.
