Intermolecular effect in molecular electronics [PDF]
We investigate the effects of lateral interactions on the conductance of two molecules connected in parallel to semi-infinite leads. The method we use combines a Green function approach to quantum transport with density functional theory for the electronic properties.

DNA-Based Single-Molecule Electronics: From Concept to Function
Beyond being the repository of genetic information, DNA is playing an increasingly important role as a building block for molecular electronics. Its inherent structural and molecular recognition properties render it a leading candidate for molecular ...

Current work in molecular electronics usually addresses molecular junction electronic transport properties, where the molecule can be viewed as a barrier for incoming electrons. This is the fundamental Landauer idea of “conduction as scattering” generalized to metal/single molecule/metal molecular nanojunction structures. The experimental contributions

Light and Redox Switchable Molecular Components for Molecular Electronics
The field of molecular and organic electronics has seen rapid progress in recent years, developing from concept and design to actual demonstration devices in which both single molecules and self-assembled monolayers are employed as light ...

Negative differential electrical resistance of a rotational organic nanomotor
A robust, nanoelectromechanical switch is proposed based upon an asymmetric pendant moiety anchored to an organic backbone between two C60 fullerenes, which in turn are connected to gold electrodes.

Constrained DFT for Molecular Junctions
We have explored the use of constrained density functional theory (cDFT) for molecular junctions based on benzenediamine. By elongating the junction, we observe that the energy gap between the ionization potential and the electronic affinity increases ...

Molecular electronics has emerged as an area with both enormous promise and enormous challenges. The idea of using molecules as components in electronic circuits dates back at least to a 1974 article by Aviram and Ratner entitled, “Molecular Rectifiers” [Chem. Phys. Lett., 29, 277, (1974)].
