Abstract

The electrical and optical properties of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) have been characterized and compared with those of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) utilizing terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The power absorption and the complex refractive indices of DWNTs are smaller than those of SWNTs. The conductivity of DWNTs was also observed to be smaller. The experimental results have been fitted with the Bruggman effective medium approximations, which has yielded the transport parameters of DWNTs such as plasma frequency, damping rate, etc.
