Heat conduction in molecular transport junctions
Heating and heat conduction in molecular junctions are considered within a general nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism. We obtain a unified description of heating in current-carrying molecular junctions as well as the electron and phonon contributions to the thermal flux, including their mutual influence. Ways to calculate these contributions, their relative importance, and ambiguities in...
متن کاملHeat conduction across molecular junctions between nanoparticles.
We investigate the problem of heat conduction across molecular junctions connecting two nanoparticles, both in vacuum and in a liquid environment, using classical molecular dynamics simulations. In vacuum, the well-known result of a length independent conductance is recovered; its precise value, however, is found to depend sensitively on the overlap between the vibrational spectrum of the junct...
متن کاملFoundations of Molecular Electronics — Charge Transport in Molecular Conduction Junctions
The most fundamental structure involved in molecular electronics is a molecular transport junction, consisting of one (ideally) or more molecules extending between two electrodes. These junctions combine the fundamental process of intramolecular electron transfer with the mixing of molecular and continuum levels at the electrodes and the nonequilibrium process of voltage-driven currents. Much o...
متن کاملVibrational Heat Transport in Molecular Junctions.
We review studies of vibrational energy transfer in a molecular junction geometry, consisting of a molecule bridging two heat reservoirs, solids or large chemical compounds. This setup is of interest for applications in molecular electronics, thermoelectrics, and nanophononics, and for addressing basic questions in the theory of classical and quantum transport. Calculations show that system siz...
متن کاملTransport through molecular junctions
Exploiting the rich design space of organic molecules for applications in future electronic devices is one of the main challenges in nanotechnology. Several groups have recently demonstrated, for a limited set of molecules, clear single-molecule characteristics and fair agreement with computations. Now that attaching leads to individual molecules has been demonstrated we naturally enter into th...
