Nonlinear transport through a nanoscale molecule.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple model of electrical transport through a metal-aromatic molecule-metal system that includes charging effects as well as aspects of the electronic structure of the molecule, is presented. The interplay of a large charging energy and an asymmetry of the metal-molecule coupling can lead to various effects in nonlinear electrical transport. In particular, strong negative differential conductance is observed under certain conditions.

متن کاملImpact of Silicon Wafer Orientation on the Performance of Metal Source/Drain MOSFET in Nanoscale Regime: a Numerical Study
A comprehensive study of Schottky barrier MOSFET (SBMOSFET) scaling issue is performed to determine the role of wafer orientation and structural parameters on the performance of this device within Non-equilibrium Green's Function formalism. Quantum confinement increases the effective Schottky barrier height (SBH). (100) orientation provides lower effective Schottky barrier height in compa...
متن کاملDriving denaturation: nanoscale thermal transport as a probe of DNA melting.
DNA denaturation has been a subject of intense study due to its relationship to DNA transcription and its fundamental importance as a nonlinear structural transition. Many aspects of this phenomenon, however, remain poorly understood. Existing models fit quite well with experimental results on the fraction of unbound base pairs versus temperature, but yield incorrect results for other essential...
متن کاملSmall molecule-assisted fabrication of black phosphorus quantum dots with a broadband nonlinear optical response.
Ultrathin BP QDs with a uniform size of ∼3.4 nm were prepared via small molecule-assisted liquid phase exfoliation and they exhibited superior broadband nonlinear saturable absorption promising for nonlinear optical applications. Laser photolysis measurement implied that the nonlinear response origin was related to the long-lived electron-hole pairs delocalized within the BP QDs.
متن کاملNon–Linear Transport through a Molecular Nanojunction
– We present a simple model of electrical transport through a metal–molecule– metal nanojunction that includes charging effects as well as aspects of the electronic structure of the molecule. The interplay of a large charging energy and an asymmetry of the metal– molecule coupling can lead to various effects in non–linear electrical transport. In particular, strong negative differential conduct...
