Experimental Data Confirm Carrier-Cascade Model for Solid-State Conductance across Proteins

Eszter Papp, Gabor Vattay, Carlos Romero-Muniz +4

The finding that electronic conductance across ultra-thin protein films between metallic electrodes remains nearly constant from room temperature to just a few degrees Kelvin has p…

A group-theoretic approach to the origin of chirality-induced spin selectivity in non-magnetic molecular junctions

W. Dednam, M. A. García-Blázquez, Linda A. Zotti +4

Spin-orbit coupling gives rise to a range of spin-charge interconversion phenomena in non-magnetic systems where certain spatial symmetries are reduced or absent. Chirality-induced…

The Role of Oligomeric Gold-Thiolate Units in Single Molecule Junc-tions of Thiol-Anchored Molecules

Edmund Leary, Linda A. Zotti, Delia Miguel +6

Using the break junction (BJ) technique we show that Au(RS)2 units play a significant role in thiol-terminated molecular junctions formed on gold. We have studied a range of thiol-…

A simple descriptor for energetics at fcc-bcc metal interfaces

Linda A. Zotti, Stefano Sanvito, David D. O'Regan

We have developed a new and user-friendly interface energy calculation method that avoids problems deriving from numerical differences between bulk and slab calculations, such as t…

Platinum atomic contacts: from tunneling to contact

Linda A. Zotti, Rubén Pérez

We present a theoretical study of the electronic transport through Pt nanocontacts. We show that the analysis of the tunnelling regime requires a very careful treatment of the tech…

Single-molecule conductance of a chemically modified, π-extended tetrathiafulvalene and its charge-transfer complex with F4TCNQ

Raúl García, M. Ángeles Herranz, Edmund Leary +9

We describe the synthesis and single molecule electrical transport properties of a molecular wire containing a -extended tetrathiafulvalene (exTTF) group and its charge-transfer…
