From a local Green’s function to molecular charge transport
نویسنده
چکیده
A local-orbital based ab initio approach to obtain the Green’s function for large heterogeneous systems is developed. First a Green’s function formalism is introduced based on exact diagonalization. Then the self energy is constructed from an incremental scheme, rendering the procedure feasible, while at the same time physical insight into different local correlation contributions is obtained. Subsequently the Green’s function is used in the frame of the Landauer theory and the wide band approximation to calculate the electronic transmission coefficient across molecular junctions. The theory is applied to metaand para-ditholbenzene linked to gold electrodes and various correlation contributions are analyzed.

Theoretical computation of the quantum transport of zigzag mono-layer Graphenes with various z-direction widths
The quantum transport computations have been carried on four different width of zigzag graphene using a nonequilibrium Green’s function method combined with density functional theory. The computed properties are included transmittance spectrum, electrical current and quantum conductance at the 0.3V as bias voltage. The considered systems were composed from one-layer graphene sheets differing w...

We present twoand three-dimensional models of space charge in intense charged-particle beams using Green’s functions. In particular, we compute the electrostatic Green’s function for a periodic collinear distribution of point charges located inside of a perfectly conducting drift tube. As applications of the Green’s function description, we analyze the matching and transport of an initially axi...

متن کاملCorrelated two-electron transport: a principle for a novel charge pump
By considering a correlated two-electron transport process (TET) and using a diagrammatic analysis within the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism, we discuss a novel charge pump by which carriers are pumped from a contact with low chemical potential to another contact with a higher potential. The TET process involves two correlated incident electrons scattering and exchanging ener...
