Abstract

We demonstrate the possibility of computing the intensity of electronic transport through various junctions of three-dimensional metallic nanotubes. In particular, we observe that the magnetic field can be used to control the switch of electron in Y-type junctions. Keeping in mind the asymptotic modeling of reliable nanostructures by quantum graphs, we conjecture that the scattering matrix of the graph should be the same as the scattering matrix of its nanosize-prototype. The numerical computation of the latter gives a method for determining the “gluing” conditions at a graph. Exploring this conjecture, we show that the Kirchhoff conditions (which are commonly used on graphs) cannot be applied to model reliable junctions. This work is a natural extension of the paper [1], but it is written in a self-consistent manner.
