Coherent Tunneling Transport in Molecular Junctions†
Using saturated alkyl chain series with a dithiol anchor group, we systematically examined the intrinsic charge transport of single-molecule junctions in an electromigrated nanogap electrode. The saturated alkyl molecular system constitutes an important control series in molecular transport experiments to corroborate valid molecular junctions, because molecular energy levels remain nearly uncha...
متن کاملPrevalence of Coulomb blockade in electro-migrated junctions with conjugated and non- conjugated molecules
Conduction of electro-migration gap junctions coated with various organic molecules is studied to expose the prevalence of different transport processes. The principal comparison made here is between molecules with conjugated versus non-conjugated backbones. Coulomb blockade (CB) is observed in all junctions, including bare junctions and those with non-conjugated molecules, but at significantly...
متن کاملCharge transport: through space keeps up with the pace
Charge transport is a fundamental and crucial process in organic electronics. Modern understanding of the transport has shown that, on single molecule level, this process can be described by through bond (TB) and through space (TS) models. The quantitative deciphering of the TB process has been established in recent years by the aid of scanning tunneling microscope (STM) technique and by making...
متن کاملRole of redox centre in charge transport investigated by novel self-assembled conjugated polymer molecular junctions
Molecular electronics describes a field that seeks to implement electronic components made of molecular building blocks. To date, few studies have used conjugated polymers in molecular junctions despite the fact that they potentially transport charge more efficiently than the extensively investigated small-molecular systems. Here we report a novel type of molecular tunnelling junction exploring...
متن کاملPhonon interference effects in molecular junctions.
We study coherent phonon transport through organic, π-conjugated molecules. Using first principles calculations and Green's function methods, we find that the phonon transmission function in cross-conjugated molecules, like meta-connected benzene, exhibits destructive quantum interference features very analogous to those observed theoretically and experimentally for electron transport in simila...
