Scattering by a junction of “zig-zag” and “armchair” nanotubes
Abstract
The quantum graph model of junction of zig-zag and armchair signle-wall carbon nanotubes is considered. The spectrum is completely described. A condition on appearance of states
localized near the interface is provided. All localized states are explicitly calculated.
