, Observation of negative differential resistance in DNA molecular junctions
The mechanically controllable break junction technique is used to study charge transport through suspended DNA molecules. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics in an aqueous solution display series of negative differential resistance (NDR) and hysteresis behavior. Under high-vacuum conditions, the peak positions of NDR shift to lower voltage, and the amplitude is reduced dramatically. The o...
متن کاملInteraction-induced negative differential resistance in asymmetric molecular junctions.
Combining insights from quantum chemistry calculations with master equations, we discuss a mechanism for negative differential resistance (NDR) in molecular junctions, operated in the regime of weak tunnel coupling. The NDR originates from an interplay of orbital spatial asymmetry and strong electron-electron interaction, which causes the molecule to become trapped in a nonconducting state abov...
متن کاملRoom-temperature negative differential resistance in nanoscale molecular junctions
Molecular devices are reported utilizing active self-assembled monolayers containing the nitroamine @28-amino-4,48-di~ethynylphenyl!-58-nitro-1-benzenethiolate# or the nitro compound @4,48-di~ethynylphenyl!-28-nitro-1-benzenethiolate# as the active components. Both of these compounds have active redox centers. Current–voltage measurements of the devices exhibited negative differential resistanc...
متن کاملMeasurements of contact specific low-bias negative differential resistance of single metalorganic molecular junctions.
Negative differential resistance (NDR) behaviors of single molecule junctions composed of a thiol-terminated Ru(ii) bis-terpyridine (Ru(tpy-SH)2) molecule sandwiched between two gold electrodes are measured using a specifically modified scanning probe microscope break junction technique (SPMBJ) at room temperature. The low-bias (0.623 ± 0.135 V) NDR observed for one of the three conductance gro...
متن کاملHysteresis, switching, and negative differential resistance in molecular junctions: a polaron model.
Within a simple mean-field model (self-consistent Hartree approximation) we discuss the possibility of polaron formation on a molecular wire as a mechanism for negative differential resistance (NDR), switching, and/or hysteresis in the I-V characteristic of molecular junctions. This mechanism differs from earlier proposed mechanisms of charging and conformational change. The polaron model captu...
