TiO 2@MWCNT heterostructure containing single one carbon nanotube has been successfully prepared via solvothermal method. X-ray diffration (XRD) analysis shows that TiO 2 nanocrystals only contain highly crystallized tetragonal anatase phase. Interestingly, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) results show that most of the TiO 2 nanocrystals are perpendicular to the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and only single one carbon nanotube is coated by TiO 2 crystals. The electromagnetic (EM) characteristics are investigated at 0.5–18.0 GHz range. The EM properties show that both the permittivity and the permeability present a typical resonance behavior at 11.0 GHz and 12.0 GHz, respectively. Besides, the TiO 2@MWCNT heterostructures exhibit a broadband absorption throughout the whole Ku wave bands (12.0–18.0 GHz). Interestingly, the reflection loss (RL) of the TiO 2@MWCNT heterostructures change slightly as the thickness of the heterostructures increase from 3.0 mm to 5.0 mm in the 8.0–13.0 GHz range.

In this work, we study the use of asymmetric carbon nanotube (CNT) dimers for the contactless detection of foreign nano-particles. Asymmetric CNT dimers create a unique field distribution, through the electromagnetic coupling, which in turn generates two distinct resonances representing the bonding and anti-bonding modes. The presence of a foreign nano-particle (NP) in the vicinity of the CNT dimer perturbs the dimer’s field distribution and causes the bonding and anti-bonding resonances to shift by unequal amounts depending on the NP location. By studying the difference in the shift of the bonding and the anti-bonding resonances, we show that the NP relative location can be reconstructed. The computational experiments performed in this work show how asymmetric CNT dimers can be used for novel sensing applications.
