Assessment of Damping Mechanisms Effect on High Frequency Transmission Behavior of Metallic Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

In this paper, quantum theory in combination with classical distributed transmission line model, is utilized to predict the dynamical behavior of a metallic single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) in transmitting high frequency energy. SWCNT is treated as a nano transmission line and a novel modified model is assumed to consider the effect of nanotubes length and account for possible damping mechanisms.
