Novel electrical switching behaviour and logic in carbon nanotube Y-junctions

P. R. Bandaru , C. Daraio , S. Jin & A. M. Rao

Carbon-nanotube-based electronics offers significant potential as a nanoscale alternative to silicon-based devices for molecular electronics technologies. Here, we show evidence for a dramatic electrical switching behaviour in a Y-junction carbon-nanotube morphology.
