By modeling the nanotube as nano-transmission line with distributed kinetic and magnetic inductance well quantum electrostatic capacitance, we calculate complex frequency-dependent impedance for variety of measurement geometries.

We present quantitative predictions of the performance nanotubes and nanowires as antennas, including radiation resistance, input reactance antenna efficiency, a function frequency nanotube length. Particular attention is paid to quantum capacitance kinetic inductance. develop models for both far-field patterns well near-field antenna-to-antenna coupling. In so doing, we also circuit model transmission line made two parallel nanotubes, which has applications nanointerconnect technology....
Using about 600 college students and exploratory confirmatory factor analysis, three models of personality structure were tested: the Big Five, as measured by NEO Personality Inventory (P.T. Costa & R. McCrae, 1985), A. Tellegen's (1985) three- four-dimensional models, Multidimensional Questionnaire (A. Tellegen, 1982). Both methods indicated considerable support for, but also some divergences from, models. We concluded that parsimonious are unlikely to meet conventional goodness-of-fit...
Double-quantum-well field-effect transistors with a grating gate exhibit sharply resonant, voltage tuned terahertz photoconductivity. The resonance is determined by the plasma oscillations of composite structure. resonant photoconductivity requires double-quantum well but mechanism whereby produce changes in device conductance not understood. phenomenon potentially important for fast, tunable detectors.
We present the first demonstration of single-walled carbon nanotube transistor operation at microwave frequencies. To measure source-drain ac current and voltage frequencies, we construct a resonant LC impedance-matching circuit 2.6 GHz. Both semiconducting metallic nanotubes are measured. Varying back-gate for dc varies 2.6-GHz impedance. In contrast, varying on has no effect find impedance to be different than resistance, which may due distributed nature capacitive inductive contacts nanotube.
Centimeter scale aligned carbon nanotube arrays are grown from nanoparticle/metal catalyst pads. We find the nanotubes grow both "with" and "against wind". A metal underlayer provides in situ electrical contact to these long with no post growth processing needed. Using electrically contacted nanotubes, we study transport of 0.4 cm nanotubes. The source−drain I−V curves quantitatively described by a classical, diffusive model. Our measurements show that outstanding properties can be extended...
Detailed measurements of the voltage, temperature, and frequency dependence nonequilibrium current fluctuations for a diffusive mesoscopic conductor are reported. The data confirm predictions that shorter than electron-electron inelastic length will display shot noise. Furthermore, low temperatures (100 mK) high frequencies (1--20 GHz) used allow tests in high-frequency regime (i.e., $h\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\gg}\mathrm{eV}$ $\mathrm{kT}$) noise, which clearly show influence vacuum...
We measure the real and imaginary conductivity σ(k=0,ω) of a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) system at frequencies below above momentum scattering rate. The part 2DEG impedance is observed to be inductive, consistent with Drude model. Using this kinetic inductance, we construct transmission line by capacitively coupling an Al Schottky barrier gate separated 5000 Å from 2DEG. measured wave velocity temperature-dependent damping are in good agreement simple Exciting these...
Here we report experimental results for a carbon nanotube (CNT) based amplitude-modulated (AM) demodulator modulation frequencies up to 100 kHz. Further, the CNT was successfully demonstrated in an actual AM radio receiver operating at carrier frequency of 1 GHz and capable demodulating high-fidelity audio. The demodulation originates from nonlinear current−voltage (IDS vs VDS) characteristic CNT, which induces rectification portion applied RF signal. By properly biasing such that point is...

The dynamical conductance of electrically contacted single-walled carbon nanotubes is measured from dc to 10 GHz as a function source−drain voltage in both the low-field and high-field limits. ac nanotube itself found be equal over frequency range studied for tubes ballistic diffusive limit. This clearly demonstrates that can carry high-frequency currents at least well wide operating conditions. Although detailed theoretical explanation still lacking, we present phenomenological model...
