Abstract :
Frequency-dependent circuit models for carbon nanotube networks are developed. The procedure of extraction include: fabricating planar transmission-line structures for microwave test where CNT networks replace the metallic traces; extracting the transmission-line complex impedance and propagation constant; computing the transmission line parameters per unit length: resistance, inductance, capacitance, and conductance; finally deducing circuit models for CNT networks.
