Dissipative Effects in the Electronic Transport through DNA Molecular Wires
R. Gutierrez, S. Mandal, G. Cuniberti
We investigate the influence of a dissipative environment which effectively comprises the effects of counterions and hydration shells, on the transport properties of short \DNA wir…
Vibrational effects in the linear conductance of carbon nanotubes
M. Gheorghe, R. Gutierrez, N. Ranjan +3
We study the influence of structural lattice fluctuations on the elastic electron transport in single-wall carbon nanotubes within a density-functional-based scheme. In the linear…
Quantum transport through a DNA wire in a dissipative environment
R. Gutierrez, S. Mandal, G. Cuniberti
Electronic transport through DNA wires in the presence of a strong dissipative environment is investigated. We show that new bath-induced electronic states are formed within the ba…
Giant magnetoresistance of multiwall carbon nanotubes: modeling the tube/ferromagnetic-electrode burying contact
S. Krompiewski, R. Gutierrez, G. Cuniberti
We report on the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) of multiwall carbon nanotubes with ultra small diameters. In particular, we consider the effect of the inter-wall interactions and th…
The role of contacts in molecular electronics
G. Cuniberti, F. Grossmann, R. Gutierrez
Molecular electronic devices are the upmost destiny of the miniaturization trend of electronic components. Although not yet reproducible on large scale, molecular devices are since…
A pure-carbon ring transistor: The role of topology and structure
G. Cuniberti, J. Yi, M. Porto
We report results on the rectification properties of a carbon nanotube (CNT) ring transistor, contacted by CNT leads, whose novel features have been recently communicated by Watana…
