Communication: Finding destructive interference features in molecular transport junctions.
Associating molecular structure with quantum interference features in electrode-molecule-electrode transport junctions has been difficult because existing guidelines for understanding interferences only apply to conjugated hydrocarbons. Herein we use linear algebra and the Landauer-Büttiker theory for electron transport to derive a general rule for predicting the existence and locations of inte...
متن کاملTransport through molecular junctions
Exploiting the rich design space of organic molecules for applications in future electronic devices is one of the main challenges in nanotechnology. Several groups have recently demonstrated, for a limited set of molecules, clear single-molecule characteristics and fair agreement with computations. Now that attaching leads to individual molecules has been demonstrated we naturally enter into th...
متن کاملPhonon interference effects in molecular junctions.
We study coherent phonon transport through organic, π-conjugated molecules. Using first principles calculations and Green's function methods, we find that the phonon transmission function in cross-conjugated molecules, like meta-connected benzene, exhibits destructive quantum interference features very analogous to those observed theoretically and experimentally for electron transport in simila...
متن کاملMolecular Transport Junctions: Clearing Mists
What is the electronic conductance of a junction containing a single molecule attached at each end to metal electrodes? This simplest of questions in molecular electronics has proved surprisingly difficult to answer. In a 2003 review of the field, Salomon et al. showed that for one simple molecule, 1,8-octanedithiol attached to gold electrodes, the reported experimental values of low-bias condu...
متن کاملMolecular transport junctions: vibrational effects
Transport of electrons in a single molecule junction is the simplest problem in the general subject area of molecular electronics. In the past few years, this area has been extended to probe beyond the simple tunnelling associated with large energy gaps between electrode Fermi level and molecular levels, to deal with smaller gaps, with near-resonance tunnelling and, particularly, with effects d...
