Terahertz Bolometric Detection in an Individual Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube

ORAL

Abstract

We describe measurements of terahertz detection in individual single-walled carbon nanotubes. The terahertz power dissipated in the antenna-coupled nanotube is determined from the induced temperature change via the nanotube's temperature-dependent resistance. This is the first demonstration of terahertz bolometric detection in an individual nanotube. This experimental technique is being developed to study high-frequency charge excitations in the nanotube, which are predicted to display Luttinger-liquid behavior due to the lack of screening in one dimension.
