Vibrational 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 کاملMolecular transport junctions: vibrational effects
Transport of electrons in a single molecule junction is the simplest problem in the general subject area of molecular electronics. In the past few years, this area has been extended to probe beyond the simple tunnelling associated with large energy gaps between electrode Fermi level and molecular levels, to deal with smaller gaps, with near-resonance tunnelling and, particularly, with effects d...
متن کاملHeat 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 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...
متن کاملElectron transport in single-molecule junctions: Vibrational effects
Single-molecule junctions, i.e. molecules bound to metal electrodes, represent interesting systems to study nonequilibrium processes in molecules coupled to a condensed matter environment. Recent experimental and theoretical investigations of the conductance properties of single-molecule junctions have revealed a wealth of transport phenomena. An important aspect that distinguishes nanoscale mo...
