Analysis of Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes Using a Three-Dimensional Integral Formulation and a Fluid Model

摘要

In this paper, we use a fluid model to describe the dynamics of the conduction electrons of multi-wall carbon nanotubes. A 3D integral formulation of Maxwell equations is used and numerically solved with a finite-elements approach based on div-conforming basis functions. The null-pinv decomposition is used to avoid the low-frequency breakdown.
