title: Transport in multiterminal graphene nanodevices.
abstract: We study the transport properties of multiterminal graphene nanodevices using the Landauer-Buttiker approach and the tight binding model. We consider a four-terminal device made at the crossing of a zigzag and armchair nanoribbons and two types of T-junction devices. The transport properties of graphene multiterminal devices are highly sensitive to the details of the junction region. Thus the properties are drastically different from those on the armchair and zigzag counterparts. In the cross-junction device, we see a conductance dip in the armchair lead associated with a conductance peak in the zigzag lead. We find that this effect is enhanced in a T-junction device with one armchair sidearm.
