摘要
An overview of the available data on carbon nanotube Y junctions is given. The structural models and the transport calculations on the Y junctions are reviewed followed by the various methods, which successfully produced these junctions and the available experimental transport and tunneling data of the grown junctions. In the discussion section, the common and different features of the various growth methods are analyzed and some particularities of branched nano-objects are outlined, which have to be taken account in the interpretation of the tunneling data.
