Electromagnetic field radiation from MWCNTs and SWCNT bundles: A comparative analysis

The electromagnetic field radiated by a multiwall carbon nanotube is predicted in the frequency domain using the equivalent single conductor (ESC) formulation, and it is compared with the field radiated by a single wall carbon nanotube bundle having circular cross section and the same external diameter. The effect of the frequency and of the configuration on the near field level is investigated, in order to predict the risk of electromagnetic interference against nearby components and devices, and to define the most critical conditions.
