Giant thermopower and figure of merit in single-molecule devices

C. M. Finch, V. M. García-Suárez, C. J. Lambert

We present a study of the thermopower and the dimensionless figure of merit in molecules sandwiched between gold electrodes. We show that for molecules with side groups, t…

Vacancy-induced magnetism in SnO: A density functional study

Gul Rahman, Víctor M. García-Suárez, Soon Cheol Hong

We study the magnetic and electronic properties of defects in SnO using pseudopotential and all electron methods. Our calculations show that bulk SnO is non-magnetic, b…

Carbon Nanotube Electron Windmills: A Novel Design for Nanomotors

S W D Bailey, I Amanatidis, C J Lambert

We propose a new drive mechanism for carbon nanotube (CNT) motors, based upon the torque generated by a flux of electrons passing through a chiral nanotube. The structure of intere…

Conformation dependence of molecular conductance: chemistry versus geometry

C. M. Finch, S. Sirichantaropass, S. W. Bailey +3

Recent experiments by Venkatamaran {\em et al.} [Nature (London) {\bf 442}, 904 (2006)] on a series of molecular wires with varying chemical compositions, revealed a linear depende…

Predictions for the formation of new atomic chains in Mechanically Controllable Break Junction experiments

Lucas Fernandez-Seivane, Victor M. Garcia-Suarez, Jaime Ferrer

We analyze the stability and magnetic properties of infinite zigzag atomic chains of a large number of late third, fourth and fifth-row transition metal atoms, as well as of the Gr…

Electronic Properties of Alkali- and Alkaline-Earth-Intercalated Silicon Nanowires

S. Sirichantaropass, V. M. García-Suárez, C. J. Lambert

We present a first-principles study of the electronic properties of silicon clathrate nanowires intercalated with various types of alkali or alkaline-earth atoms. We find that the…
