Abstract :
This work has derived the dielectric tensor of a carbon nanotube media using a microscopic model of interaction between the lattice of the nanotube and the electromagnetic field. Since the derivation is achieved within the linear oscillator formalism, a direct quantization procedure for the above formulation is straightforward.
