Nanoelectronics of Carbon Nanotube Multi-Terminal Junctions

Abstract

Using the support we have developed and used a novel method to investigate molecular electronic device applications of carbon nanotube multi-terminal junctions in the form of T- and Y-junctions. The theoretical methods included (i) large scale simulations using accurate quantum tight-binding molecular dynamics scheme and (ii) quantum conductivity formalisms. Both methods were developed by the PI's group. All the structures investigated were fully relaxed using quantum tight-binding molecular dynamics methods and their current vs voltage (I-V) characteristics determined.
