Conductance Properties of Carbon-Based Molecular Junctions
Giorgos Fagas, Agapi Kambili
We present a comprehensive study of the properties of the off-resonant conductance spectrum in oligomer nanojunctions between graphitic electrodes. By employing first-principle-bas…
Complex-band structure: a method to determine the off-resonant electron transport in oligomers
Giorgos Fagas, Agapi Kambili, Marcus Elstner
We validate that off-resonant electron transport across {\it ultra-short} oligomer molecular junctions is characterised by a conductance which decays exponentially with length, and…
Fingerprints of mesoscopic leads in the conductance of a molecular wire
G. Cuniberti, G. Fagas, K. Richter
The influence of contacts on linear transport through a molecular wire attached to mesoscopic tubule leads is studied. It is shown that low dimensional leads, such as carbon nanotu…
A molecular wire sandwiched between nanotube leads: analytic results for the conductance
G. Cuniberti, G. Fagas, K. Richter
Analytic results for the conductance of a molecular wire attached to mesoscopic tubule leads are obtained. They permit to study linear transport in presence of low dimensional lead…
Molecular wire-nanotube interfacial effects on electron transport
G. Fagas, G. Cuniberti, K. Richter
We discuss the conductance of a molecular bridge between mesoscopic electrodes supporting low-dimensional transport and bearing an internal structure. As an example for such nanoel…
Fullerene based devices for molecular electronics
G. Cuniberti, R. Gutierrez, G. Fagas +3
We have investigated the electronic properties of a C_60 molecule in between carbon nanotube leads. This problem has been tackled within a quantum chemical treatment utilizing a de…
