Propagation of surface plasmon–polariton modes in metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes is investigated within the framework of the classical electrodynamics. Electronic excitations on the nanotube's surface are modeled by an infinitesimally thin layer of free-electron gas which is described by means of the linearized hydrodynamic theory. General expression of surface modes dispersion is obtained by solving Maxwell and hydrodynamic equations with appropriate boundary conditions. It is shown that the system generally disallows the separation of the transverse electric (TE) modes and transverse magnetic (TM) modes, except for the case of modes with no angular dependence.
► Propagations of electromagnetic wave along a metallic single-walled carbon nanotube are studied. ► The system generally disallows the separation of the TE and TM modes, except for the case of modes with no angular dependence. ► It has been shown that in the quasi-static limit, the quasi-static TM wave with no angular dependence can propagate in the system.
