We studied in this work the synthesis and characterization of boron doped single wall carbon nanotubes. They were produced, at different conditions, using a new liquid precursor in a high vacuum chemical vapour deposition system. In order to characterize the samples we compared them to an undoped reference sample and used a transmission and field emission scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and a X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). The transmission electron microscopy and the Raman spectroscopy were used to confirm the presence of single wall carbon nanotubes, while the scanning electron microscopy was used to identify in which temperature range the tubes were produced. We found evidences that the produced sample were doped by comparing the Raman spectra of the samples with the reference one. By using the XPS, we could determine that our tubes are boron doped. By comparing the Raman analysis with the XPS results, we developed a simple rule to estimate the doping level through Raman measurements.
