Erratum to: Conformation-dependent conductance through a molecular break junction

Single-molecule junction conductance through diaminoacenes.

The study of electron transport through single molecules is essential to the development of molecular electronics. Indeed, trends in electronic conductance through organic nanowires have emerged with the increasing reliability of electron transport measurements at the single-molecule level. Experimental and theoretical work has shown that tunneling distance, HOMOLUMO gap and molecular conformat...

Erratum: Tuning a Josephson junction through a quantum critical point

We have corrected a problem in our computational code that determined the normal-state resistance. In general, we find a reduction of Rn when the correlations are large and there is more than one plane in the barrier. The reduction of Rn affects four figures from the original paper, and affects the conjecture about ‘‘intrinsic pinholes.’’ We discovered that our calculations had not fully conver...

Nonmechanical Conductance Switching in a Molecular Tunnel Junction.

We present a molecular junction composed of a donor (polyacetylene strands) and an acceptor (malononitrile) connected together via a benzene ring and coupled weakly to source and drain electrodes on each side, for which a gate electrode induces intramolecular charge transfer, switching reversibly the character of conductance. Using a new brand of density functional theory, for which orbital ene...

Thermal conductance through molecular wires

We consider phononic heat transport through molecular chains connecting two thermal reservoirs. For relatively short molecules at normal temperatures we find, using classical stochastic simulations, that heat conduction is dominated by the harmonic part of the molecular force-field. We develop a general theory for the heat conduction through harmonic chains in three-dimensions. Our approach use...
