We present theoretical analysis of plasmon dispersion in single-walled metallic carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in the presence of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation, based on classical electrodynamic formulations and linearized hydrodynamic model. We assume that metallic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are charged due to the field emission, and hence the metallic nanotubes can be regarded as charged dust rods surrounded by degenerate electrons and ions. Calculations are performed for the transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waves, respectively, by solving the Maxwell and hydrodynamic equations with appropriate boundary conditions.
