Abstract
In chiral gold nanotubes, alternating electric current generates an electromagnetic field; under these conditions, the nanotubes become emitting solenoid nanoantennas. With the use of the Maxwell equations and taking into account the geometry of nanotubes, their band structure, and the ballistic model of electron transfer, we have calculated the alternating axial magnetic and azimuthal electric fields generated by helical currents in chiral gold nanotubes. The calculations demonstrate that large alternating magnetic and electric fields can be generated in nanoscale volumes of gold nanotubes and that the eigenfrequencies of the field components are in the X-ray range.
