An Ab Initio-study of Electron Transport through Nitro- Benzene: the Influence of Leads and Contacts
The modification of chemical functions on conjugated aromatic molecules has been suggested as an enabling tool for implementing data storage [1] and information processing [2] in molecular electronics. Much attention has been devoted to nitro-groups as suitable ligands [2]-[4], since they generate states inside the HOMO-LUMO-gap of a delocalised aromatic π-system. In some cases this results in ...
متن کاملAb-initio electron transport calculations of carbon based string structures.
First-principles calculations show that monatomic strings of carbon have high cohesive energy and axial strength, and exhibit stability even at high temperatures. Because of their flexibility and reactivity, carbon chains are suitable for structural and chemical functionalizations; they also form stable ring, helix, grid, and network structures. Analysis of electronic conductance of various inf...
متن کاملElectron transport through single conjugated organic molecules: basis set effects in ab initio calculations.
We investigate electron transport through single conjugated molecules--including benzenedithiol, oligophenylene ethynylenes of different lengths, and a ferrocene-containing molecule sandwiched between two gold electrodes with different contact structures--by using a single-particle Green function method combined with density functional theory calculation. We focus on the effect of the basis set...
متن کاملAb initio calculation of inelastic scattering.
Nonresonant inelastic electron and X-ray scattering cross sections for bound-to-bound transitions in atoms and molecules are calculated directly from ab initio electronic wavefunctions. The approach exploits analytical integrals of Gaussian-type functions over the scattering operator, which leads to accurate and efficient calculations. The results are validated by comparison to analytical cross...
متن کاملNew Algebraic Formulation of Ab Initio Calculation
This article addresses a fundamental problem faced by the ab initio community: the lack of an effective formalism for the rapid exploration and exchange of new methods. To rectify this, we introduce a novel, basis-set independent, matrix-based formulation of generalized density functional theories which reduces the development, implementation, and dissemination of new ab initio techniques to th...
