Abstract

Complex three-point junctions of single-walled carbon nanotubes are proposed as building blocks of nanoscale electronic devices. Both T- and Y-junctions, made up of tubes with differing diameters and chiralities, are studied as prototypes. All the proposed complex junctions have been found to be local minima of the total energy on relaxation with a generalized tight-binding molecular dynamics scheme.
