Modeling and Simulation of a Molecular Single-Electron Transistor
Authors
Abstract:
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 molecules. Also it will be showed that to calculate the single-electron current of a molecular single-electron transistor (SET), utilize of quantum-coulomb blockage (QCB) regime is necessary. The tunneling rate in the Quantum Colombian Blockade regimen will be obtained by replacing a Lorentzian function (as the tunneling transmission probability) at the tunneling rate in orthodox theory. Finally, based on the tunneling rate obtained for the QCB regime and using SIMON software, the current (or Coulomb oscillations) of the molecular SETs is calculated. Benzene and Carbon 60 are the two considering molecules for studying.

We demonstrate a sensitive method of charge detection based on radio-frequency readout of the Josephson inductance of a superconducting single-electron transistor. Charge sensitivity 1.4 x 10(-4) e/square root Hz, limited by a preamplifier, is achieved in an operation mode which takes advantage of the nonlinearity of the Josephson potential. Owing to reactive readout, our setup has more than 2 ...

We report on combined measurements of heat and charge transport through a single-electron transistor. The device acts as a heat switch actuated by the voltage applied on the gate. The Wiedemann-Franz law for the ratio of heat and charge conductances is found to be systematically violated away from the charge degeneracy points. The observed deviation agrees well with the theoretical expectation....

We consider the fully overheated single-electron transistor, where the heat balance is determined entirely by electron transfers. We find three distinct transport regimes corresponding to cotunneling, single-electron tunneling, and a competition between the two. We find an anomalous sensitivity to temperature fluctuations at the crossover between the two latter regimes that manifests in an exce...
