Contact resistance between carbon nanotubes
Open accessAbstract
Fascinating properties of nanotubes arise when they form intermolecular junctions. In this rapid communication, we demonstrate that such nanotube junctions have atomic scale characteristics and the contact resistance between the tubes depends strongly on atomic structure in the contact region. Our calculations show that the optimal electronic transport between nanotubes occurs when the tubes are in atomic scale registry. The contact resistance can vary several orders of magnitude with atomic scale movements. Phenomena such as the negative differential resistance and nonlinear variation of resistance are found. These properties may lead to new device applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
