Rj. Tarento et P. Joyes, PI-PLASMON IN SINGLE (MULTI) SHELL NANOTUBES - A SIMPLE DERIVATION OFTHE SHELL INTERACTION, Physics letters. A, 207(5), 1995, pp. 303-306
Single (multi) shell nanotubes have been modelled with a cylindrical s
ymmetry wall for the pi electrons. This procedure leads to an easy der
ivation of the shell interaction effect on the pi electron wavefunctio
n in the multi shell nanotube case. The effect on the pi plasmon frequ
ency calculated in the random phase approximation due to the wavefunct
ion modification has been investigated.
