✦ Synopsis

The present study is concerned with the properties of 2D shallow cavities having an irregular boundary. The eigenmodes are calculated numerically on various examples, and it is shown first that, whatever the shape and characteristic sizes of the boundary, irregularity always induces an increase of localized eigenmodes and a global decrease of the existence surface of the eigenmodes. Besides, irregular cavities are shown to exhibit specific damping properties. As expected, the increased damping, compared to a regular cavity, is related first to the larger perimeter to surface ratio. But more interestingly, there is a specific enhancement of the dissipation for those modes that are localized near the boundary, modes which are favored by the geometric irregularity.

## Abstract We investigate electronic transport properties of carbon nanotubes sandwiched between other two carbon nanotubes. We call this kind of structure a __cavity__. We show that it may behave as a resonant box with quasi‐bound states. This is a consequence of the differences between the band
