ABSTRACT

The theoretical modeling continuously improves the scientic knowledge, offering new details to be experimentally veri-ed. A new “time-domain” Drude-Lorentz-like model for classical and quantum-relativistic transport in nanosystems has recently appeared, demonstrating high generality and good tting with experimental data. The model is suitable to be applied in a large range of applications, going from nanobiomedical materials to nanobiosensoristics. Considering variations of parameters, such as temperature and effective mass of electrons, so as through comparison among the most important nanomaterials of current scientic technology, it is possible to test existing data and predict interesting features too. This chapter presents an overview related to these peculiarities, particularly in relation to the diffusion in carbon nanotubes.
