Electronic spectrum and ballistic transport in bent nanotubes
PACS: 61.46.+w
Abstract
It is shown that bending of a nanotube leads to splitting the electron energy levels due to breaking the azimuthal symmetry. The bent section of the nanotube acts as a scatterer for ballistic carriers resulting in qualitative changes in the dependence of conductance on the Fermi energy.
