Charge transfer through single molecule contacts: How reliable are rate descriptions?
BACKGROUND The trend for the fabrication of electrical circuits with nanoscale dimensions has led to impressive progress in the field of molecular electronics in the last decade. However, a theoretical description of molecular contacts as the building blocks of future devices is challenging, as it has to combine the properties of Fermi liquids in the leads with charge and phonon degrees of free...
متن کاملCharge Transport through Ferrocene 1,1'-Diamine Single-Molecule Junctions.
The charge transport through ferrocene 1,1'-diamine (FDA) molecules between gold electrodes is investigated using the mechanically controllable break junction technique combined with a theoretical framework of density functional theory simulations to understand the physics of these molecular junctions. The characteristic conductances of the molecule are measured at low bias as well as current-v...

متن کاملThe single-molecule conductance and electrochemical electron-transfer rate are related by a power law.
This study examines quantitative correlations between molecular conductances and standard electrochemical rate constants for alkanes and peptide nucleic acid (PNA) oligomers as a function of the length, structure, and charge transport mechanism. The experimental data show a power-law relationship between conductances and charge transfer rates within a given class of molecules with the same brid...
