The smallest molecular switch.
Ab initio total energy calculations reveal benzene-dithiolate molecules on a gold surface, contacted by a monatomic gold STM tip to have two classes of low-energy conformations with differing symmetries. Lateral motion of the tip or excitation of the molecule cause it to change from one conformation class to the other and to switch between a strongly and a weakly conducting state. Thus, surpris...
متن کاملThe cell as the smallest DNA-based molecular computer.
The pioneering work of Adleman (1994) demonstrated that DNA molecules in test tubes can be manipulated to perform a certain type of mathematical computation. This has stimulated a theoretical interest in the possibility of constructing DNA-based molecular computers. To gauge the practicality of realizing such microscopic computers, it was thought necessary to learn as much as possible from the ...
متن کاملFinding of the smallest enclosing cube to improve molecular modeling
It is argued that by optimizing the orientation of a molecule in a cube can improve the efficiency of certain molecular modeling procedures.
متن کاملMolecular Switch Mechanism Revealed
Cuprate Liquid Crystal Recent experimental work has revealed exotic electronically ordered phases in correlated electron systems akin to those seen in conventional liquid crystals. These effects have manifested themselves as anisotropic transport properties, in which conductivity depends upon direction within the sample. Hinkov et al. (p. 597, published online 10 January) used neutron scatterin...
متن کاملTuning the conductance of a molecular switch.
The ability to control the conductance of single molecules will have a major impact in nanoscale electronics. Azobenzene, a molecule that changes conformation as a result of a trans/cis transition when exposed to radiation, could form the basis of a light-driven molecular switch. It is therefore crucial to clarify the electrical transport characteristics of this molecule. Here, we investigate, ...
