چکیده

A self-assembled arylene-ethynylene molecular wire with a rigid 7 nm long backbone exhibits symmetrical current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and a single-molecule current of 0.35 +/- 0.05 nA at 0.3 V; these data are supported by theoretical calculations.

First Princiles Study of the Electron Transport Properties of Buthane-dithiol Nano-Molecular Wire

We report a first-principles study of electrical transport in a single molecular conductor consisting of a buthane-dithiol sandwiched between two Au (100) electrodes. We show that the current was increased by increasing of the external voltage biases. The projected density of states (PDOS) and transmission coefficients (T(E)) under various external voltage biases are analyzed, and it suggests t...

I-V Characteristics of a Molecular Wire of Polyaniline (Emeraldine Base)

In this study, Polyaniline molecule (emeraldine base) is modeled as a molecular wire and the effects of the metal/molecule coupling strength and the molecule length on the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics are numerically investigated. Using a tight-binding Hamiltonian model, the methods based on Non-equilibrium Green’s function theory, Landauer formalism and Newns-Anderson model, our calcu...

محاسبه رسانندگی و زمان مشخصه تونل‌زنی الکترون از پیوندگاه فلز – مولکول (پلی استیلن) در یک سیم مولکولی

  In this paper, on the basis of tight-binding model and a generalized Green- function method as well as Lanczos algorithm procedure, the effects of the metal-molecule coupling(MMC) strength on the electronic transmission through a metal-single molecule-metal(MMM) system is investigated. Using the Landauer formalism we study some of the significant conductance properties of this system as a mol...

مطالعه عددی چگالی حالتها و رسانندگی الکترونی یک سیم مولکولی در حضور یک عامل خارجی

  There is a great interest in the electronic properties of conjugated polymers. Numerous works on the electronic and conduction properties of single-chain conjugated polymers have been published. From an electronic conduction point of view, these systems are quasi-one dimensional. The aim of this paper is to try to investigate corresponding properties in conducting polymers in higher of one-di...

Investigation of Molecular Selenium ‎Adsorption to the Outer Surface of Single ‎Wall Carbon Nanotubes

   In this study the adsorption of selenium molecule (Se2) on the outer surface of zigzag (5,0), (8,0) and (10,0) carbon nanotubes has been investigated. We examined number adsorbed orientations as well as different adsorption sites on nanotubes. The adsorption energies, equilibrium distances, energy differences between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest uno...
