Abstract

Several authors have worked on theoretical and experimental plasmon excitations. The researchers have been studying the dispersion relation of magneto plasmon in the low energy state on a cylindrical surface of carbon nanotube obtained with the help of linear-angular momentum transfer. Here, we demonstrate the Dirac-like Hamiltonian equation for carbon nanotubes in the presence and absence of a parallel applied magnetic field. We assume the cylindrical carbon nanotube is infinitesimally narrow, if we reduce the bandwidth the radius of the cylindrical tube is increased in presence of a magnetic field. In this study, we find the relation between energy eigenfunction and electron wave function and discuss the properties of carbon nanotube concerning the Fermi-energy level which is induced by the applied magnetic field is obtained numerically by integrating first and second-order differential equations. We chose the Fermi energy level above the gap at EF = 1.5 eV and below the gap at EF = −5 eV. We see that Magneto Plasmon excitations at both levels of low and high-frequency modes. This study provides information about the electron state in carbon nanostructures and their electronic properties.
