• The splitted reflection spots are attributed to a misalignment of the bilayer.
• A non-crystalline signal is not significantly present, implying a good crystal quality of the tube wall.

• Temperature - induces a shift of the vibration mode - can be estimated by the shift of vibration mode or the Stoke and Anti- Stoke ratio - Heating effect can be avoided by using low excitation power (less than 0.4 mW)

ConclusionsConclusions
• The tube wall mainly consists of crystalline SiGe/Si which shows the vibration mode corresponding to relaxed Si and SiGe layers.
• An ex-situ local laser annealing induces an irreversible change of the Ge composition of the tube wall.
• Our experiments can be viewed as a controlled method to manipulate and tune the local composition of rolled-up SiGe/Si micro- and nanotubes.
