Ryzhii, et al // Appl Phys Lett, 2007 V. Leiman, et al // J. Appl Phys, 2008 Introduction Detector scheme on the basis of single-walled carbon nanotubes: Yu. Stebunov et al // Appl. Phys. Ex., 2011 Output signal is the current induced by the variable capacitance: … but there is other scheme: INTRODUCTION Small mass Lower electron collision frequency (in comparison with 2DEG) High contact resistance (about 6.5 kΩ) Main advantages of using metallic SWCNTs as mechanical and plasma resonators: … and main disadvantage: Double carbon nanotube antenna Mathematical model. Plasma resonator: 1) Hydrodynamic model for electron transport in metallic SWCNTs: 2) Maxwell equations, 3) Boundary conditions on the nanotubes surface: Mechanical resonator: dynamic Euler-Bernoully equation for beam deflection: and their ends: Mechanical resonator Dynamic Euler-Bernoully equation: Consider the case when the linear force can be represented in the following view: We will find the solution in the form of expansion in a series: where of orthonormal functions That are eigenfunctions of the homogeneous equation Mechanical resonator Expressions for the eigenmodes: Reducing to the lumped oscillator Set of functions forms a full basis, so we can expand the function into a series of them: Partial sums of the series are shown in the figure for Lumped mechanical oscillator So, substituting we get: Next we will consider only the oscillation of the general mode
