Negative differential resistance in nanotube devices
Abstract
A study is performed to demonstrate that nanotube (NT) junctions are ideally suited to functions as nanoscale negative differential resistance (NDR) device elements. For this purpose, two different devices are considered, a simple p-n junction and an entirely new device structure based on metal contacts to an undoped NT.
