Abstract
We study the transport efficiency for x-rays of single-wall carbonnanotubes (SWCNTs) in theory. Three effects, i.e. refraction,absorption and x-ray tunnelling loss, are considered. Our calculationshows that the SWCNT cannot be an x-ray waveguide due to the largex-ray tunnelling loss. If the tunnelling loss can be reduced effectively,a nanotube could be a waveguide.
