Localized and Delocalized Charge Transport in Single-Wall   Carbon-Nanotube Mats
  We measured the complex dielectric constant in mats of single-wall carbon-nanotubes between 2.7 K and 300 K up to 0.5 THz. The data are well understood in a Drude approach with a negligible temperature dependence of the plasma frequency (omega_p) and scattering time (tau) with an additional contribution of localized charges. The dielectric properties resemble those of the best ''metallic'' polypyrroles and polyanilines. The absence of metallic islands makes the mats a relevant piece in the puzzle of the interpretation of tau and omega_p in these polymers.
