contents A method is developed to calculate the electron flow between an atomic monolayer sheet and a tube with use of tunneling matrix elements between monolayer sheets and applied to the spin current from monolayer silicene with sublattice-staggered current-induced spin polarization to silicene tube. Calculated sheet-to-tube spin current exhibits an oscillation as a function of the tube circumferential length since the Fermi points in the tube cross the Fermi circle in the sheet. It is also shown that the spin current with spin in the out-of-plane direction, which is absent in the sheet-sheet junction (including twisted sheets) with the $C_3$ rotational symmetry, appears in an oscillating form owing to the broken $C_3$ symmetry in the tube-sheet junction.
