Kondo blockade due to quantum interference in single-molecule junctions
Molecular electronics offers unique scientific and technological possibilities, resulting from both the nanometre scale of the devices and their reproducible chemical complexity. Two fundamental yet different effects, with no classical analogue, have been demonstrated experimentally in single-molecule junctions: quantum interference due to competing electron transport pathways, and the Kondo ef...
متن کاملQuantum interference in acyclic systems: conductance of cross-conjugated molecules.
We calculate that significant quantum interference effects can be observed in elastic electron transport through acyclic molecules. Interference features are evident in the transmission characteristics calculated for cross-conjugated molecules; significantly, these effects dominate the experimentally observable conduction range. The unusual transport characteristics of these molecules are highl...
متن کاملQuantum Interference: The Structural Dependence of Electron Transmission through Model Systems and Cross-Conjugated Molecules
We report on a class of molecules that exhibit nonlinear current/voltage behavior in the low bias tunneling regime. This interesting behavior is attributed to quantum interference. Using site models, we show that interference features, while common, do not necessarily occur at experimentally relevant energies, hindering realization in transport measurements. Calculations made using a nonequilib...
متن کاملA quantum circuit rule for interference effects in single-molecule electrical junctions.
A quantum circuit rule for combining quantum interference effects in the conductive properties of oligo(phenyleneethynylene) (OPE)-type molecules possessing three aromatic rings was investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Molecules were of the type X-Y-X, where X represents pyridyl anchors with para (p), meta (m) or ortho (o) connectivities and Y represents a phenyl ring with p and ...
متن کاملExperimental evidence for quantum interference and vibrationally induced decoherence in single-molecule junctions.
We analyze quantum interference and decoherence effects in single-molecule junctions both experimentally and theoretically by means of the mechanically controlled break junction technique and density-functional theory. We consider the case where interference is provided by overlapping quasidegenerate states. Decoherence mechanisms arising from electronic-vibrational coupling strongly affect the...
