Calculation of the local electric field for an infinite array of conducting nanosized objects

Abstract

The electric field for an infinite array of conducting nanosized objects in two-dimensional space has been calculated. The mirror symmetry for this physical problem has been introduced. By taking into account this symmetry, we transform the original problem into an infinite two-dimensional array of nanosized objects with the same solution. The electric field equation of the model has been successfully constructed using a single-layer potential of the periodic Green function. The electric field operator has been introduced. This mathematical approach yields a solution for determining the optimum structure of nanosized electronic devices such as carbon nanotube-based field emitters.
