Electrostatics of conducting nanocylinders Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The capacitance and transverse polarizability of nonideal conducting nanocylinders was calculated. A semiclassical theory was employed that characterizes the cylinders with a nonzero screening length and dielectric constant. Cylindrical shells and bulk cylinders with and without charge-trapping surface states was studied. The bulk results was found relevant to multiwall carbon nanotubes and semiconductor nanowires.
