Graphene-based electrodes are very promising for molecular electronics and spintronics. Here we report a systematic characterization of the electroburning (EB) process, leading to the formation of nanometer-spaced gaps, on different types of few-layer ...

Cotunneling and non-equilibrium magnetization in magnetic molecular monolayers
Transport and non-equilibrium magnetization in monolayers of magnetic molecules subject to a bias voltage are considered. We apply a master-equation approach going beyond the sequential-tunneling approximation to study the Coulomb-blockade regime.

Evaluating the Role of Intermolecular Interactions in pi-conjugated Materials: What can we learn from DFT calculations and Raman Spectroscopy [PDF]
For practical applications in sensors, dynamic covalent chemistry and molecular (photochromic) switches, soft conjugated materials can be envisaged as promising functional materials.1 To advance in this research field, deciphering the mechanisms involved

Phononic heat transport in molecular junctions: quantum effects and vibrational mismatch
Problems of heat transport are ubiquitous to various technologies such as power generation, cooling, electronics, and thermoelectrics. In this paper we advocate for the application of the quantum self-consistent reservoir method, which is based on the ...

The two dimensional Hubbard model:a theoretical tool for molecular electronics
When speaking about molecular electronics, the obvious question which occurs is how does one study it theoretically. The simplest theoretical model suitable for application in molecular electronics is the two dimensional Hubbard model.

Role of solvents in the electronic transport properties of single-molecule junctions
We report on an experimental study of the charge transport through tunnel gaps formed by adjustable gold electrodes immersed into different solvents that are commonly used in the field of molecular electronics (ethanol, toluene, mesitylene, 1,2,4 ...

Failure of mean-field approach in out-of-equilibrium Anderson model
To explore the limitations of the mean field approximation, frequently used in \textit{ab initio} molecular electronics calculations, we study an out-of-equilibrium Anderson impurity model in a scattering formalism. We find regions in the parameter space
