           CLOAKING OF ENCAPSULATED MOLECULES IN CARBON
                 NANOTUBES AT INFRARED FREQUENCIES


The construction of an electromagnetic “invisibility cloak” usually 
involves a medium with spatially varying optical properties, i.e. a 
metamaterial. The topic of this talk is a cloaking mechanism based on 
electromagnetic shielding by polarizable electrons in real materials. 
Molecules encapsulated in carbon nanotubes become invisible to infrared 
radiation because of the mirror charges invoked in the nanotube wall 
during molecular vibrations. I will present experimental data and 
results of model calculations on this phenomenon.
