متن کاملMechanical tuning of conductance and thermopower in helicene molecular junctions.
Helicenes are inherently chiral polyaromatic molecules composed of all-ortho fused benzene rings possessing a spring-like structure. Here, using a combination of density functional theory and tight-binding calculations, it is demonstrated that controlling the length of the helicene molecule by mechanically stretching or compressing the molecular junction can dramatically change the electronic p...
متن کاملPhonon interference effects in molecular junctions.
We study coherent phonon transport through organic, π-conjugated molecules. Using first principles calculations and Green's function methods, we find that the phonon transmission function in cross-conjugated molecules, like meta-connected benzene, exhibits destructive quantum interference features very analogous to those observed theoretically and experimentally for electron transport in simila...
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, ...
متن کاملLength-dependent Conductance of conjugated molecular junctions
Molecular junction is a promising candidate for devices nowadays, especially the conjugated molecule with much higher conductance compared to sigma bond alkanes. The decay constant β, which describes the length-dependent conductance, is one of the most important parameters in molecular junctions. To investigate the decay constant, we introduce the exponential dependence first, and then explain ...
