Terahertz Radiation From Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes, Martin M. Muthee Jan 2011

Terahertz Radiation From Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes, Martin M. Muthee

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

The Terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum is the region between microwaves and infra-red, dubbed the terahertz 'gap' due to its relative underdevelopment in terms of technology. This region is marked by expensive and inconvenient sources that are bulky or that require cryogenic cooling for normal operation, therefore creating a need for cheap and easy to use terahertz sources.

Carbon nanotubes have received considerable attention since their discovery due to their unique physical and electronic properties. Many applications have been proposed using especially Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs), and a number of commercial technologies exist. In this work, we have proposed …
