Electronic conduction in a model three-terminal molecular transistor.
The electronic conduction of a novel, three-terminal molecular architecture, analogous to a heterojunction bipolar transistor, is studied. In this architecture, two diode arms consisting of donor-acceptor molecular wires fuse through a ring, while a gate modulating wire is a pi-conjugated wire. The calculated results show the enhancement or depletion mode of a transistor on applying a gate fiel...

متن کاملControlling the Performance of a Three-Terminal Molecular Transistor: Conformational versus Conventional Gating
The effect of conformational changes in the gate arm of a three-terminal device is investigated. In the ground state, the gate (triphenyl) arm is nonplanar, where the middle phenyl ring is approximately 30° out-of-plane relative to other two rings. At this geometry, the calculated tunnel current (Id) as a function of external bias (Vds) across the two D−A substituted arms exhibits a typical ins...
متن کاملProbing electronic excitations in molecular conduction
We identify experimental signatures in the current-voltage I-V characteristics of weakly contacted molecules directly arising from excitations in their many electron spectrum. The current is calculated using a multielectron master equation in the Fock space of an exact diagonalized model many-body Hamiltonian for a prototypical molecule. Using this approach, we explain several nontrivial featur...
متن کاملAtom/ion movement controlled three-terminal atomic switch, ‘Atom Transistor’
Atomic switch is a nanoionic-device that controls the diffusion of metal ions/atoms and their reduction/oxidation processes in the switching operation to form/annihilate a conductive path [1-3]. Since metal atoms can provide a highly conductive channel even if their cluster size is in the nanometer scale, atomic switches may enable downscaling to smaller than the 11 nm technology node, which is...
