Current rectification by molecules with asymmetric tunneling barriers
P. E. Kornilovitch, A. M. Bratkovsky, R. S. Williams
A simple experimentally accessible realization of current rectification by molecules (molecular films) bridging metal electrodes is described. It is based on the spatial asymmetry…
Bistable molecular conductors with a field-switchable dipole group
P. E. Kornilovitch, A. M. Bratkovsky, R. S. Williams
A class of bistable "stator-rotor" molecules is proposed, where a stationary bridge (stator) connects the two electrodes and facilitates electron transport between them. The rotor…
Bi-stable tunneling current through a molecular quantum dot
A. S. Alexandrov, A. M. Bratkovsky, R. S. Williams
An exact solution is presented for tunneling through a negative-U d-fold degenerate molecular quantum dot weakly coupled to electrical leads. The tunnel current exhibits hysteresis…
