Toward to the Theory of Plasma Waves on the Surface of Nanotube with Superlattice

Abstract

In the framework of the hydrodynamic approach, the plasma waves on the surface of a nanotube with a longitudinal superlattice are considered. Not only longitudinal electron current but also transversal one has been taken into consideration. It has been shown that both optical and acoustical plasmons could propagate along the tube with one sort of carriers.
