Pair Tunneling through Single Molecules.

Modeling and Simulation of a Molecular Single-Electron Transistor

In this paper, to understand the concept of coupling, molecule density of states that coupled to the metal electrodes will be explained then, based on this concept, a weak and strong coupling for the molecules attached to the metal electrodes will be described. Capacitance model is used to explore the connection of addition energy with the Electron affinity and the ionization energy of the mole...

Charge transport through single molecules, quantum dots and quantum wires.

We review recent progress in the theoretical description of correlation and quantum fluctuation phenomena in charge transport through single molecules, quantum dots and quantum wires. Various physical phenomena are addressed, relating to cotunneling, pair-tunneling, adiabatic quantum pumping, charge and spin fluctuations, and inhomogeneous Luttinger liquids. We review theoretical many-body meth...

The First NanoSquare Conference of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Single Molecule Analyses by Molecular Tips for Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

Understanding electron transport through a single molecule is of fundamental importance for molecular electronics. Recently, there have been significant advances in the measurement of electron transport through a single molecule [1]. One of the next challenges toward the realization of molecular electronic devices lies in measuring electron transport between single molecules interacting with ea...

Electron and Spin Transport through Single Molecules with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

Complementary base-pair-facilitated electron tunneling for electrically pinpointing complementary nucleobases.

Molecular tips in scanning tunneling microscopy can directly detect intermolecular electron tunneling between sample and tip molecules and reveal the tunneling facilitation through chemical interactions that provide overlap of respective electronic wave functions, that is, hydrogen-bond, metal-coordination-bond, and charge-transfer interactions. Nucleobase molecular tips were prepared by chemic...
