  • Direct current generation due to wave mixing in zigzag carbon nanotubes 
    Abukari, S. S.; Mensah, S.Y.; Mensah, N. G.; Dompreh, K. A.; Twum, A.; Allotey, F. K. A. (University of Cape Coast, 2000)
    Generation of direct current in zigzag carbon nanotubes due to harmonic mixing of two coherent electromagnetic waves is being considered. The electromagnetic waves have commensurate frequencies of Ω and Ω. The rectification ...
  • Direct current generation in carbon nanotubes by terahertz field 
    Abukari, Sulemana S; Sam, Frederick; Mensah, Samuel Y.; Mensah, Natalia G.; Musah, Rabiu; Twum, Anthony; Amoah, Patrick M.; Owusu, Alfred (University of Cape Coast, 2016-02-29)
    We report on a theoretical investigation of a direct current generation in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that are stimulated axially by terahertz (THz) field. We consider the kinetic approach based on the semiclassical Boltzmann’s ...
  • Domain suppression in the negative differential conductivity region of carbon nanotubes by applied ac electric field 
    Abukari, Sulemana S.; Mensah, Samuel Y.; Adu, Kofi W.; Mensah, Natalia G.; Dompreh, Kwadwo A.; Twum, Anthony; Amuah, Chales L. Y.; Amekpewu, Matthew; Rabiu, Musah (University of Cape Coast, 2012)
    We study theoretically the electron transport properties in achiral carbon nanotubes under the influence of an external electric field E(t) using Boltzmann’s transport equation to derive the current-density. A negative ...
  • Effect of laser on thermopower of chiral carbon nanotube 
    Mensah, S.Y.; Twum, A.; Mensah, N. G.; Dompreh, K. A.; Abukari, S. S.; Nkrumah-Buandoh, G (University of Cape Coast, 2000)
    An investigation of laser stimulated thermopower in chiral CNT is presented. The thermopower of a chiral CNT is calculated using a tractable analytical approach. This is done by solving the Boltzman kinetic equation with ...
  • Generation and amplification of terahertz radiation in carbon nanotubes 
    Abukaria, S. S.; Mensah, S.Y.; Mensah, N. G.; Adud, K. W.; Rabiu, M.; Dompreh, K. A.; Twum, A. (University of Cape Coast, 2012)
    We investigate theoretically the feasibility of generation and amplification of terahertz radiation in aligned achiral carbon nanotubes (zigzag and armchair) in comparison with a super lattice in the presence of a constant ...
  • High-Frequency Electric Field Induced Nonlinear Electron Transport in Chiral Carbon Nanotubes 
    Abukari, Sulemana S.; Mensah, Samuel Y.; Rabiu, Musah; Adu, Kofi W.; Mensah, Natalia G.; Twum, Anthony; Owusu, Alfred; Dompreh, Kwadwo A.; Mensah-Amoah, Patrick; Amekpewu, Matthew (University of Cape Coast, 2015-11-24)
    We investigate theoretically the high frequency complex conductivity in carbon nanotubes that are stimulated axially by a strong inhomogeneous electric field of the form Et t ) . Using the kinetic approach based on ...
  • On the amplification of acoustic phonons in carbon nanotube 
    Dompreh, K. A.; Mensah, N. G.; Sakyi-Arthur, D.; Mensah, S. Y. (University of Cape Coast, 2016)
    We present a theoretical study of acoustic phonons amplification in Carbon Nanotubes (CNT). The phenomenon is via Cerenkov emission (CE) of acoustic phonons using intraband transitions proposed by Mensah et. al., [1] in ...
