Study on multi-walled carbon nanotube resonator

A carbon nanotube (CNT) half-wavelength resonator is designed and analyzed in this paper. The electrical characteristics of the resonator are predicted based on the equivalent circuit model of multi-walled CNT (MWCNT). The propagation behavior in the resonator is presented with the influence of MWCNT diameter and operating frequency taken into account. The Q-factors for different kinds of losses in the MWCNT resonator are extracted numerically to demonstrate the superior performance compared with a copper counterpart.
