where heat is conducted as a wave whose amplitude decays with an effective relaxation time τ. Here, α is the thermal diffusivity. The equation has the same asymptotic solution as the diffusion equation based on Fourier’s law when t >> τ, hence the smaller time/length scale of the system is, the more the difference between two solutions becomes evident. As the new era of nanotechnology shed light to nanoscale physics, the classical problem of heat waves [2] has been revisited in last decades [3-5]. In the situations where femto or pico second heat pulse is generated by ultra pulse lasers, the finite relaxation time of the heat transport can have a significant impact on the overall physics. Although, there have been a few studies that attempted direct observations of such heat waves in crystals by means of molecular dynamics [3], due to the usually very short relaxation time of coherently excited energy in multi-dimensional systems, a clear visualization is not available to this date. In this report, we investigate a single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) as a candidate to posses above stated properties of non-Fourier heat conduction.
