Abstract :
The paper considers guided wave propagation in carbon nanotubes. For finding the impedance boundary condition we calculate surface axial conductivity in the semiclassical approach based on the Hamilton function given in the tight-binding model. The dependence of the wavenumber of the surface eigenwave versus its frequency is found numerically accounting for attenuation
