  • Abstract
    Nanotube heterojunction has a good application prospect in nanoelectronic devices. The transport properties of the heterojunction are the foundation of its simulation and design. In this paper, the transport properties of an (8, 0) carbon/silicon carbide nanotube heterojunction were investigated and negative differential resistance (NDR) property was discovered. The origin of the NDR is the fluctuation of the transmission coefficient caused by the variation of the applied bias voltage.
