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...
متن کاملModeling 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...
متن کاملEffect of localizing groups on electron transport through single conjugated molecules
Electron transport properties through single conjugated molecules sandwiched between two nonsuperconducting electrodes are studied by the use of Green’s function technique. Based on the tightbinding model, we do parametric calculations to characterize the electron transport through such molecular bridges. The electron transport properties are significantly influenced by (a) the existence of loc...
متن کاملTransport of a Liquid Water-Methanol Mixture in a Single Wall Carbon Nanotube
In this work, a molecular dynamics simulation of the transport of water - methanol mixture through the single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is reported. Methanol and water are selected as fluid molecules since water represents a strongly polar molecule while methanol is as an intermediate between polar and strongly polar molecules. Some physical properties of the methanol-water mixture such as r...
متن کاملThermally activated electron transport in single redox molecules.
We have studied electron transport through single redox molecules, perylene tetracarboxylic diimides, covalently bound to two gold electrodes via different linker groups, as a function of electrochemical gate voltage and temperature in different solvents. The conductance of these molecules is sensitive to the linker groups because of different electronic coupling strengths between the molecules...
