Abstract

The band structure modulation was investigated in carbon nanotube T junctions (CNTJ). The carbon gate was capacitatively coupled to the channel via an insulating molecule bridging the two tubes. The long molecular chain and perpendicular linkage kept the nanotubes in proximity without allowing contact. The results show that the band structure of metallic carbon nanotubes can be altered by the local electrostatic field.
