Dynamics of a two-dimensional light bullet propagating in a system of carbon nanotubes with a velocity greater than the speed of light in the medium

Resumo

The behavior of a two-dimensional light bullet propagating with a velocity greater than the speed of light in a medium consisting of semiconducting carbon nanotubes is investigated by means of numerical simulation. The electromagnetic field of the investigated system is described using Maxwell’s equations with allowance for the electric and magnetic properties of the carbon nanotubes and the medium in which they are embedded.
