Effect of Dephasing on Electron Transport in a Molecular Wire: Green's Function Approach
arXiv:1011.2033 · doi:10.1016/j.orgel.2011.03.012
Abstract
The effect of dephasing on electron transport through a benzene molecule is carefully examined using a phenomenological model introduced by Büttiker. Within a tight-binding framework all the calculations are performed based on the Green's function formalism. We investigate the influence of dephasing on transmission probability and current-voltage characteristics for three different configurations ({\em ortho}, {\em meta} and {\em para}) of the molecular system depending on the locations of two contacting leads. The presence of dephasing provides a significant change in the spectral properties of the molecule and exhibits several interesting patterns that have so far remain unexplored.
