In this paper, a charged multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), which is surrounded by charged nanoparticles, is modeled as a cylindrical shell of electron-ion-dust plasma. By employing the classical electrodynamics formulations and linearized hydrodynamic model, the dispersion relation of the dust-ion-acoustic wave oscillations in the composed system is investigated. We obtain a new low-frequency electrostatic excitation in the MWCNTs, i.e., dust-ion-acoustic wave oscillations.
