We report a first-principles study of electrical transport in a single molecular conductor consisting of a buthane-dithiol sandwiched between two Au (100) electrodes. We show that the current was increased by increasing of the external voltage biases. The projected density of states (PDOS) and transmission coefficients (T(E)) under various external voltage biases are analyzed, and it suggests t...

Proinflammatory macrophage activation is coupled to a metabolic switch toward glycolysis. In Cell Metabolism, Jin et al. (2014) show that this process is negatively regulated by mitochondrial electron transport chain complex I through both cell intrinsic and extrinsic pathways.

The electronic conductance at zero temperature through a quantum wire with side-connected asymmetric quantum ring (as a scatter system) is theoretically studied using the non-interacting Hamiltonian Anderson tunneling method. In this paper we concentrate on the configuration of the quantum dot rings. We show that the asymmetric structure of QD-scatter system strongly influences the amplitude an...

Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs) have attracted considerable attention because of their unique features and high efficiency. However, the stability perovskite solar cells remains to be improved. In this study, we modified TiO 2 Electron Transport Layer (ETL) interface with PbCl . The efficiency car...

Abstract: A thermodynamic model was used to find out the optimum temperature for the growth of ZnS single crystals in closed ampoules by chemical vapor transport technique. Based on this model 1002 °C was found to be optimum temperature for 2 mg/cm3 concentration of transporting agent (iodine). ZnS Crystals were grown in optimum (1002 °C) and non-optimum (902 °C and 1102 °C) temperatures. The c...

Electron transport through molecular structures is investigated with three different concepts. Polythiophenyl substituted benzenes were studied as reducible substructures in molecular architectures. By linking two reducible substructures with different bridging motives the potential of the bridging structure as electronic connector was investigated. Diacetylene turned out to be the most promisi...

The III-V semiconductors such as In x Ga 1-x As (x = 0.53-0.70) have attracted significant interest in the context of low power digital complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology due to their superior transport properties. However, top-down patterning of III-V semiconductor thin films into strongly confined quasi-one-dimensional (1D) nanowire geometries can potentially degrade th...
