Pushing around electrons: towards 2-D and 3-D molecular switches.

چکیده

In the new age of molecular electronics there has been a great deal of speculation about ways to control the passage of electrons through organic-based wires using electro- or photo-active switches. However, the next stage development is envisaged as the added sophistication of directionality so that electron migration can be switched into 2 and 3 dimensions. This short tutorial review will set out how this realisation may be achieved and highlight examples where the idea of directionality in electron transfer has been put into practice.

Quantum Chemical Investigations on C14C10-Branched-Chain Glucoside Isomers Towards Understanding Self-Assembly

Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out using a Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM) in an attempt to investigate the electro-molecular properties of branched-chain glucoside (C14C10-D-glucoside) isomers. The results showed that αconfiguration of pyranoside form is thermodynamically the most stable, while the solution should contain much more β...

Detection of Coulomb Charging around an Antidot in the Quantum Hall Regime

We have detected oscillations of the charge around a potential hill (antidot) in a two-dimensional electron gas as a function of a large magnetic field B. The field confines electrons around the antidot in closed orbits, the areas of which are quantised through the Aharonov-Bohm effect. Increasing B reduces each state’s area, pushing electrons closer to the centre, until enough charge builds up...

Starvation Free Scheduler for Buffered Crossbar Switches (RESEARCH NOTE)

Need for high speed internet connectivity has lead to a substantial research in switching systems. Buffered crossbar switches have received a lot of attention from both research and industrial communities due of its flexibility and scalability. Designing a scheduling algorithm for buffered crossbar switches without starvation is a major challenge as of now. In this paper, we proposed a Delay ba...

Topological Relationship Between One-Dimensional Box Model and Randić Indices in Linear Simple Conjugated Polyenes

The alternative double bonds and conjugation in the polyene compounds are one of the main properties in these compounds. Each carbon-carbon bonds in a polyene compound along the chain has appreciable double-bond character. The p-electrons are therefore not localized but are relatively free to move throughout the entire carbon skeleton as an one-dimensional box. The skeleton be considered as a r...

Effects of D-Doping on Characteristics of AlAs/GaAs Barriers Grown by Mba at 400 ??C

Effects of d-doping on barriers effective heights and series resistance of highly doped n-type GaAs/AIAs/GaAs/AlAs/GaAs heterostructures, grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) at 400?°C, have been studied. As it was expected, inclusion of an n+ d-doped layer at each hetero-interface has reduced the barriers heights and series resistance of the structure significantly, while p+ d-doped layers ha...
