METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION OF GIGA- AND TERAHERTZ FREQUENCY RANGE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B82B3/00 

FIELD: nanotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to nanotechnology, namely to the field of solid state physics, and can be used to create devices for medical diagnostics of new generation, non-destructive materials testing, scanning luggage in transport, search for explosives on their spectral composition, as well as for nanomicroscopy. The technical result is achieved by the fact that in the method of production of electromagnetic radiation of giga- and terahertz frequency range, which includes placing at least one single-walled carbon nanotube in an electric field directed along the tube, according to the decision a tube with the diameter of 1.39 nm and the length of at least 6.16 nm is selected, from one end of which there are at least three fullerenes C₆₀ connected to each other and to the wall of the nanotube, and a free charged fullerenes C₆₀ located in the potential well of the nanotube, formed through van der Waals interaction between related fullerenes, nanotube wall and the free charged fullerene. For production of electromagnetic radiation of the gigahertz frequency range the nanotube is placed in the electric field with the magnitude of 1·10³ to 9·10⁵ V/cm, and the charge of the free fullerene is selected from +1e to +3e. For obtaining electromagnetic radiation of the terahertz frequency range the nanotube is placed in an electric field magnitude of 1·10⁶ V/cm, and the charge of the free fullerene is selected as +3e.

EFFECT: increasing the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.
