Abstract

The transport properties across contacts between quantum tubes and metals are studied. The curvature effects on the transmission are also considered. We find that the transmission probability of an electron transporting from the tube into the metal through the contact can be close to 100%. The curvature has a larger effect on the transmission for smaller radii and the effects decrease as the radii increase.
