The authors measured the transport properties of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films in the microwave frequency range from by using the Corbino reflection technique from temperatures of . Based on the real and imaginary parts of the microwave conductivity, they calculated the shielding effectiveness for various film thicknesses. Shielding effectiveness of at and at are found for films with 90% optical transmittance, which suggests that SWCNT films are promising as a type of transparent microwave shielding material. By combining their data with those from the literature, the conductivity of SWCNT films was established in a broad frequency range from dc to visible.
