Abstract

We investigate the transport properties of three-terminal carbon-based nanojunctions within the scattering matrix approach. The stability of such junctions is subordinated to the presence of nonhexagonal arrangements in the molecular network. Such ``defective'' arrangements do influence the resulting quantum transport observables, as a consequence of the possibility of acting as pinning centers ...
