Can I use CNT itself if it's metallic CNT? Does it influence the transmission and I-V characteristic? Thanks. > Any comment will be appreciated You may use the CNT as the electrode. But it all depends on what you want to simulate. You need to figure out what system you want to simulate. Secondly, the transmission will, of course, depend on the choice of electrode. Remember that the electrode is the reservoir of electrons and thus the DOS of the electrode is important. > > Yours, > Yangchuan > > > Yangchuan Li > Graduate research assistant > UT Austin | ME >
