8 Jan 2013 | Abstract: | We study macroscopically-aligned single-wall carbon nanotube arrays with
uniform lengths via polarization-dependent terahertz and infrared transmission
spectroscopy. Polarization anisotropy is extreme at frequencies less than
$sim$3 THz with no sign of attenuation when the polarization is perpendicular
to the alignment direction. The attenuation for both parallel and perpendicular
polarizations increases with increasing frequency, exhibiting a pronounced and
broad peak around 10 THz in the parallel case. We model the electromagnetic
response of the sample by taking into account both radiative scattering and
absorption losses. We show that our sample acts as an effective antenna due to
the high degree of alignment, exhibiting much larger radiative scattering than
absorption in the mid/far-infrared range. Our calculated attenuation spectrum
clearly shows a non-Drude peak at $sim$10 THz in agreement with the
experiment. | Source: | arXiv, 1301.1478 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
