A mechanism of stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation by an electron beam in carbon nanotubes is theoretically considered. Three basic properties of carbon nanotubes, a strong slowing down of surface electromagnetic waves, ballisticity of the electron motion over typical nanotube length, and extremely high electron current density reachable in nanotubes, allow proposing them as candidates for the development of nano-scale Chernekov-type emitters, analogous to traveling wave tube and free electron laser. Dispersion equations of the electron beam instability and the threshold conditions of the stimulated emission have been derived and analyzed, demonstrating realizability of the nanotube-based nanoFEL at realistic parameters of nanotubes and electronic beams.

Quantum sensing exploits fundamental features of quantum mechanics and quantum control to realise sensing devices with potential applications in a broad range of scientific fields ranging from basic science to applied technology. The ultimate goal ar
e devices that combine unprecedented sensitivity with excellent spatial resolution. Here, we propose a new platform for all-electric nanoscale quantum sensing based on a carbon nanotube double quantum dot. Our analysis demonstrates that the platform can achieve sensitivities that allow for the implementation of single-molecule magnetic resonance spectroscopy and therefore opens a promising route towards integrated on-chip quantum sensing devices.
A simple scalable scheme is reported for fabricating suspended carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNT-FETs) without exposing pristine as-grown carbon nanotubes to subsequent chemical processing. Versatility and ease of the technique is demonst
rated by controlling the density of suspended nanotubes and reproducing devices multiple times on the same electrode set. Suspending the carbon nanotubes results in ambipolar transport behavior with negligible hysteresis. The Hooges constant of the suspended CNT-FETs (2.6 x 10-3) is about 20 times lower than for control CNT-FETs on SiO2 (5.6 x 10-2).
We use an ab-initio approach to design and study a novel two-dimensional material - a planar array of carbon nanotubes separated by an optimal distance defined by the van der Waals interaction. We show that the energy spectrum for an array of quasi-m
etallic nanotubes is described by a strongly anisotropic hyperbolic dispersion and formulate a model low-energy Hamiltonian for its semi-analytical treatment. Periodic-potential-induced lifting of the valley degeneracy for an array of zigzag narrow-gap nanotubes leads to the band gap collapse. In contrast, the band gap is opened in an array of gapless armchair tubes. These unusual spectra, marked by pronounced van Hove singularities in the low-energy density of states, open the opportunity for interesting physical effects and prospective optoelectronic applications.
Plasmon-emitter interactions are of paramount importance in modern nanoplasmonics and are generally maximal at short emitter-surface separations. However, when the separation falls below 10-20 nm, the classical theory progressively deteriorates due t
o its neglect of quantum mechanical effects such as nonlocality, electronic spill-out, and Landau damping. Here, we show how this neglect can be remedied by presenting a unified theoretical treatment of mesoscopic electrodynamics grounded on the framework of Feibelman $d$-parameters. Crucially, our technique naturally incorporates nonclassical resonance shifts and surface-enabled Landau damping - a nonlocal damping effect - which have a dramatic impact on the amplitude and spectral distribution of plasmon-emitter interactions. We consider a broad array of plasmon-emitter interactions ranging from dipolar and multipolar spontaneous emission enhancement, to plasmon-assisted energy transfer and enhancement of two-photon transitions. The formalism presented here gives a complete account of both plasmons and plasmon-emitter interactions at the nanoscale, constituting a simple yet rigorous and general platform to incorporate nonclassical effects in plasmon-empowered nanophotonic phenomena.
Electrically-driven light emission from carbon nanotubes could be exploited in nano-scale lasers and single-photon sources, and has therefore been the focus of much research. However, to date, high electric fields and currents have been either requir
ed for electroluminescence, or have been an undesired side effect, leading to high power requirements and low efficiencies. In addition, electroluminescent linewidths have been broad enough to obscure the contributions of individual optical transitions. Here, we report electrically-induced light emission from individual carbon nanotube p-n diodes. A new level of control over electrical carrier injection is achieved, reducing power dissipation by a factor of up to 1000, and resulting in zero threshold current, negligible self-heating, and high carrier-to- photon conversion efficiencies. Moreover, the electroluminescent spectra are significantly narrower (ca. 35 meV) than in previous studies, allowing the identification of emission from free and localized excitons.
