Laser-induced currents along molecular wire junctions.
The treatment of the previous paper is extended to molecular wires. Specifically, the effect of electron-vibrational interactions on the electronic transport induced by femtosecond omega+2omega laser fields along unbiased molecular nanojunctions is investigated. For this, the photoinduced vibronic dynamics of trans-polyacetylene oligomers coupled to macroscopic metallic leads is followed in a m...
متن کاملElectron transport in molecular wire junctions.
Molecular conductance junctions are structures in which single molecules or small groups of molecules conduct electrical current between two electrodes. In such junctions, the connection between the molecule and the electrodes greatly affects the current-voltage characteristics. Despite several experimental and theoretical advances, including the understanding of simple systems, there is still ...
متن کاملExploring local currents in molecular junctions.
Electron transfer through molecules is an ubiquitous process underlying the function of biological systems and synthetic devices. The electronic coupling between components varies with the structure of the molecular bridge, often in classically unintuitive ways, as determined by its quantum electronic structure. Considerable efforts in electron-transfer theory have yielded models that are usefu...
متن کاملTransient switch-on/off currents in molecular junctions.
Based on the nonequilibrium density matrix theory we put forward a unified description of the transient and the steady state current formation through a molecular junction. It is demonstrated that the current follows the time evolution of the populations of those molecular charged states which participate in the inter-electrode charge transmission. As an example, the formation of switch-on/swit...
متن کاملMolecular signatures in the transport properties of molecular wire junctions: what makes a junction "molecular"?
The simplest component of molecular electronics consists of a single-molecule transport junction: a molecule sandwiched between source and drain electrodes, with or without a third gate electrode. In this Concept article, we focus on how molecules control transport in metal-electrode molecular junctions, and where the molecular signatures are to be found. In the situation where the molecule is ...
