✦ Synopsis

In this paper, the possibility of exploiting carbon nanotubes as X-ray waveguides is explored through analytical and numerical solutions of Maxwell's equations. It is shown that nanotubes coated with various materials can theoretically sustain electromagnetic modes. The factors determining the modes that can be established are the tube diameter and the ΓΏeld penetration depth in the cladding. The latter is shown to vary from 6:4 nm in carbon to 3 nm in metals such as gold and platinum. Numerical simulations conΓΏrm that the inner tubes in multi-walled carbon nanotubes have a negligible impact on mode formation, thereby, allowing a large range of tube diameters to be exploited.

We study the propagation of X-rays in very narrow slits or waveguides. The onset of waveguiding effects is estimated analytically and quantified by finite-difference field calculations. A critical thickness is given below which waveguiding effects have to be taken into account. Finally, we consider

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) grown on Si(1 0 0) were irradiated with X-ray having the spectrum with a peak at 277 eV. We measured Raman scattering spectra of the samples before and after the irradiation at various fluences and found that the relative intensity of the defect-related band, D

This paper studies effects of rotary inertia and shear deformation on transverse wave propagation in individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) within terahertz range. Detailed results are demonstrated for transverse wave speeds of doublewall CNTs, based on Timoshenko-beam model and Euler-beam model, respec
