Theory of electrical rectification in a molecular monolayer
The current-voltage characteristics in Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers of γ-hexadecylquinolinium tricyanoquinodimethanide (C16H33Q-3CNQ) sandwiched between Al or Au electrodes is calculated, combining ab initio and self-consistent tight binding techniques. The rectification current depends on the position of the LUMO and HOMO relative to the Fermi levels of the electrodes as in the Aviram-Ratner m...
متن کاملHighly Sensitive Detection of H2S Molecules Using a TiO2-Supported Au Overlayer Based Nanosensors: A Van Der Waals Corrected DFT Study
The adsorption of the H2S molecule on the undoped and N-doped TiO2 anatase supported Au nanoparticles were studied using density functional theory calculations. The adsorption of H2S on both Au and TiO2 sides of the nanoparticle was examined. On the TiO2 side, the fivefold coordinated titanium site was found to be the most favorable binding site, giving rise to the strong interaction of H2S wit...
متن کاملRectification in nanoscale devices based on an asymmetric five-coordinate iron(III) phenolate complex.
Rectification consists of an asymmetric flow of electric current. In a macroscopic electrical circuitry, rectifiers, such as vacuum tubes or solid-state diodes, control the mobility of current, enabling it to flow in one direction and preventing reversibility. This directionality is fundamental to the conversion of alternating into direct current. Molecular rectification, which was proposed in ...
متن کاملInvestigation of structural and electronic properties of small Au n Cu m (n+m≤5) nano-clusters for Oxygen adsorption
In this study, the structures, the IR spectroscopy, and the electronic properties of AunCum (n+m≤5) bimetallic clusters were studied and compared with those of pure gold and copper clusters using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and exchange correlation density functional theory (DFT). The study of an O2-AunCum system is important to identify the promotion effects of each of the two...
متن کاملAdsorption of H2S molecule on TiO2/Au nanocomposites: A density functional theory study
The adsorption of hydrogen sulfide molecule on undoped and N-doped TiO2/Au nanocomposites was investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results showed that the adsorption energies of H2S on the nanocomposites follow the order of 2N doped (Ti site)>N-doped (Ti site)>Undoped (Ti site). The structural properties including bond lengths, angles<span id="...
