Abstract

The scattering theory for two crossing metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes of finite length exposed to an electromagnetic field has been developed based on a synthesis of the quantum transport formalism and classical electrodynamics. The model of the point contact has been developed to be incorporated into the Hallén and Pocklington equations for crossing carbon nanotubes. The influence of the contact conductance and position as well as the angle between the tube axes on the tube polarizability has been analyzed in the range of 1 GHz to 10 THz. The physical mechanisms responsible for the electromagnetic interaction between crossing tubes with zero and nonzero intertube contact conductance are shown and discussed. The influence of the coupling between the tubes on the localized plasmon resonance in them has been demonstrated.
