This Review presents a discussion of the electromagnetic properties of nanoscale electrical conductors, which are quantum mechanical one‐dimensional systems. Of these, carbon nanotubes are the most technologically advanced example, and are discussed mainly in this paper. The properties of such systems as transmission electron microscopy waveguides for on‐chip signal propagation and also the radiation properties of such systems are discussed. This work is primarily aimed at microwave, nanometer‐wave, and THz electronics. However, the use of nanotubes as antennas in the IR and optical frequency range is not precluded on first principles and remains an open research area.
The contribution of carbon nanotubes as the building block of high‐frequency electronic devices has received much interest due to their favorable characteristics. This Review focuses on the electromagnetic properties (see image) of individual as well as multiple‐ and single‐walled carbon‐nanotube arrangements primarily aimed at microwave, millimeter‐wave, and THz electronics applications.
