Abstract
Effects of a contact between a carbon nanotube and metallic electrode are studied in a tight-binding model. A model of dirty contact is introduced and discussed for electrode weakly coupled to a carbon nanotube. Measurements of a perfect transmission in two-terminal measurement may be possible by the using of the contact with both weak coupling and large area.Keywords
