39.1  INTRODUCTION

Recently, a terahertz response of single-walled carbon nanotubes has been successfully observed and measured [1,2]. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as one of the most active areas of nanoscale science and technology research [3,4]. They are truly nanoscale materials with typical diameters of 1–2 nm, and can be regarded as being close to ideal 1-D conductors with an unprecedented mean free path of about 1 μm at 300 K. ...
