Materials Meets Concepts in Molecule-Based Electronics

چکیده
Molecular semiconductors differ from traditional semiconducting materials (such as Ge, Si, GaAs, etc.) in many regards including their mechanical, electrical, and optical properties, which is a direct consequence of their construction principles. While in traditional semiconductors, the basic building blocks are atoms that are strongly linked together by covalent or ionic bonds, organic semiconductors are based on molecular constituents, which are held together by much weaker van der Waals interaction.

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...

In this paper, we examined the effect of gate voltage, bias voltage, contact geometries and the different bond lengths on the electrical transport properties in a nanostructure consisting of C60 molecule attached to two semi-infinite leads made of single wall carbon nanotubes in the coherent regime. Our calculation was based on the Green’s function method within nearest-neighbour tight-binding...
متن کاملGrowth of Self-Assembled Monolayers directly on a ferromagnetic metal surface
Spin-Electronics (spintronics),is a relatively new field of research based on the utilization in electronic transport of the spin of the electrons in addition to their charge. Traditionally, inorganic metals, insulators and semiconductors have been used as the main components in spintronic devices. However, this situation is currently evolving and a new field called Organic Spintronics is rapid...
