Molecular wires: tuning of electron transport
Electron transport characteristics through molecular wires are studied by using the Green’s function formalism. Parametric calculations are performed based on the tight-binding model to investigate the transport properties through the wires. The transport characteristics are significantly influenced by (a) the interference effects, (b) chemical substituent group, (c) molecule-to-electrode coupl...
متن کاملMolecular Spintronics: Spin-Dependent Electron Transport in Molecular Wires
We present a theoretical study of spin-dependent transport through molecular wires bridging ferromagnetic metal nanocontacts. We extend to magnetic systems a recently proposed model that provides a quantitative explanation of the conductance measurements of Reed et al. [1] on Au break-junctions bridged by self-assembled molecular monolayers (SAMs) of 1,4-benzene-dithiolate (BDT) molecules. Base...
متن کاملLandauer Theory, Inelastic Scattering and Electron Transport in Molecular Wires
In this paper we address the topic of inelastic electron scattering in mesoscopic quantum transport. For systems where only elastic scattering is present, Landauer theory provides an adequate description of transport that relates the electronic current to single-particle transmission and reflection probabilities. A formalism proposed recently by Bonc̆a and Trugman facilitates the calculation of ...
متن کاملQuantum transport through molecular wires
We explore electron transport properties in molecular wires made of heterocyclic molecules (pyrrole, furan and thiophene) by using the Green’s function technique. Parametric calculations are given based on the tight-binding model to describe the electron transport in these wires. It is observed that the transport properties are significantly influenced by (a) the heteroatoms in the heterocyclic...
متن کاملElectron transport and phonons in atomic wires
A scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) at low temperatures is used to fabricate and measure the electronic transport properties of atomic wires up to 7 atoms in length. We observe that the conductance of these wires, which at zero bias voltage is 2e=h, as corresponds to ballistic electron transport through a single conductance quantum channel, drops sharply at a well-defined voltage due to the ...
