摘要
A new model of cold atoms trap using a carbon nanotube is proposed. In this model, for the existence of a stable bound state of cold atom, we send a strong electromagnetic field through the carbon nanotube. This field generates an evanescent wave around the carbon nanotube and creates an effective attractive potential. The consideration of some possible boundary conditions leads to this non-trivial bound state solution. We compare also our result to the two most recent models concerning trapping of cold atoms by using a charged carbon nanotube and an optical fiber.
