Carbon nanotubes as a basis for novel terahertz devices

We propose and justify two schemes utilizing the unique electronic properties of carbon nanotubes for novel terahertz (THz) applications including tunable THz generation by hot electrons in quasi-metallic nanotubes and THz radiation detection by armchair nanotubes in strong magnetic fields.
