Abstract
We describe impedance measurements of individual single wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the frequency range of 40 Hz to 100 MHz. The extracted CNT capacitance of 4 10-14 F/mm, is independent of the total resistance, however the CCNT value is larger than theoretically predicted quantum capacitance of a perfect tube. We observe a sharp conductor-insulator transition at a crossover frequency above which the circuit response becomes capacitive. Our results agree qualitatively with the theoretical impedance characteristic of a perfect CNT, and furthermore, they imply that the crossover frequency due to quantum capacitance would fall in the range of about 100 GHz.Citation
