Abstract
Low-temperature conductance of crossed carbon nanotubes with a point contact is investigated theoretically. Explicit formulas for the conductance of the device are obtained by solving the Schrödinger equation. It is shown that the conductance of each tube has minima associated with the resonance scattering of electrons at the points of contact as well with the transfer of electrons to the second tube. The electron transport between the first and the second tubes exhibits resonance behavior.
