Electronic transmission selectivity in multiterminal graphitic nanorings
APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, (2011)DOI: 10.1063/1.3563706
Abstract
Graphene based toroidal carbon nanostructures possess unique electronic
properties induced by quantum confinement and cyclic boundary conditions
imposed to the wave-functions along the circumference. We used a
tight-binding approach to demonstrate that nanoribbon and nanotube based
ring structures have energy-dependent selection rules for electron
transmission, especially when they are connected to a large number of
terminals. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics.
