Quantum-interference-controlled molecular electronics.
Quantum interference in coherent transport through single molecular rings may provide a mechanism to control the current in molecular electronics. We investigate its applicability, using a single-particle Green function method combined with ab initio electronic structure calculations. We find that the quantum interference effect (QIE) is strongly dependent on the interaction between molecular p...
متن کاملPhase coherent electronics: a molecular switch based on quantum interference.
The phenomenon of quantum mechanical interference may be used to control the conductivity of ballistic molecular wires. Using a simple model we demonstrate plausible effects and discuss its potential uses for constructing coherence-based molecular electronics.

electron components have been steadily decreasing in size, while molecular materials have in recent years been found to exhibit many of the properties used in electronics. such developments are giving rise to a new field in which molecular materials are used for electronic applications. molecular electronics offers .
متن کاملQuantum interference in polycyclic hydrocarbon molecular wires
The construction of devices based on molecular components depends upon the development of molecular wires with adaptable current–voltage characteristics. Here, we report that quantum interference effects could lead to substantial differences in conductance in molecular wires which include some simple polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). For molecular wires containing a single benzene, anthr...
متن کاملHarnessing Quantum Interference in Molecular Dielectric Materials.
We investigate the relationship between dielectric response and charge transport in molecule-based materials operating in the quantum coherent regime. We find that quantum interference affects these observables differently, for instance, allowing current passing through certain materials to be reduced by orders of magnitude without affecting dielectric behavior (or band gap). As an example, we ...
