Abstract :
This paper presents an overview of the high-frequency applications of carbon nanotubes. The first step towards understanding the high-frequency electronic properties of carbon nanotubes is to understand the passive, ac impedance of a 1d quantum system. The effective RF circuit model for the ac impedance of capacitively contacted nanotube and a dc contacted nanotube is summarized. A second application of nanotubes in high-frequency electronics is in the active mode of operation, i.e. nanotube transistors.
