Asymmetric Coulomb blockade and Kondo temperature of single-molecule transistors
Recent experiments on single-molecule transistors made of cobalt complexes exhibited anomalously weak gate voltage dependence of the Kondo temperature accompanied by a strong asymmetry in the Coulomb blockade peaks. We show that these observations can both be explained by strong electron–vibron interactions when including anharmonicities of the molecular potential surfaces. The strong electron–...
متن کاملElectronic transport in benzodifuran single-molecule transistors.
Benzodifuran (BDF) single-molecule transistors have been fabricated in electromigration break junctions for electronic measurements. The inelastic electron tunneling spectrum validates that the BDF molecule is the pathway of charge transport. The gating effect is analyzed in the framework of a single-level tunneling model combined with transition voltage spectroscopy (TVS). The analysis reveals...
متن کاملNovel quantum transport effects in single-molecule transistors
Transport through single molecules differs from transport through more conventional nanostructures such as quantum dots by the coupling to few welldefined vibrational modes. A well-known consequence of this coupling is the appearance of vibrational side bands in the current-voltage characteristics. We have recently shown that the coupling to vibrational modes can lead to new quantum transport e...
متن کاملKondo resonances and anomalous gate dependence in the electrical conductivity of single-molecule transistors.
We report Kondo resonances in the conduction of single-molecule transistors based on transition metal coordination complexes. We find Kondo temperatures in excess of 50 K, comparable to those in purely metallic systems. The observed gate dependence of the Kondo temperature is inconsistent with observations in semiconductor quantum dots and a simple single-dot-level model. We discuss possible ex...
متن کاملTunable Negative Differential Resistance controlled by Spin Blockade in Single Electron Transistors
We demonstrate a tunable negative differential resistance controlled by spin blockade in single electron transistors. The single electron transistors containing a few electrons and spin polarized source and drain contacts were formed in GaAs/GaAlAs heterojunctions using metallic gates. Coulomb blockade measurements performed as a function of applied source-drain bias, electron number, and magne...
