Migration of gold atoms into a thiol-bonded molecular self-assembled monolayer, forming a cluster exhibiting a Coulomb staircase
Bingxin Li, Shanglong Ning, Chunyang Miao +16
Thiol-based self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold surfaces are one of the fundamental building blocks of molecular electronics. The strong chemical affinity of the gold and sulf…
Quantum Interference and Contact Effects in Thermoelectric Performance of Anthracene-Based Molecules
Joseph M. Hamill, Ali Ismael, Alaa Al-Jobory +9
We report on the single-molecule electronic and thermoelectric properties of strategically chosen anthracene-based molecules with anchor groups capable of binding to noble metal su…
Scale-up of room-temperature constructive quantum interference from single molecules to self-assembled molecular-electronic films
Xintai Wang, Troy L. R. Bennett, Ali Ismael +9
The realization of self-assembled molecular-electronic films, whose room-temperature transport properties are controlled by quantum interference (QI), is an essential step in the s…
Connectivity dependence of Fano resonances in single molecules
Ali K. Ismael Iain Grace, Colin J. Lambert
Using a first principles approach combined with analysis of heuristic tight-binding models, we examine the connectivity dependence of two forms of quantum interference in single mo…
Molecular design and control of fullerene-based bi-thermoelectric materials
Laura Rincón-García, Ali K. Ismael, Charalambos Evangeli +5
Molecular junctions are a versatile test bed for investigating thermoelectricity on the nanoscale1-10 and contribute to the design of new cost-effective environmentally-friendly or…
Thermopower of crown-ether-bridged anthraquinones
A. K. Ismael, I. Grace, C. J. Lambert
We investigate strategies for increasing the thermopower of crown-ether-bridged anthraquinones. The novel design feature of these molecules is the presence of either (1) crown-ethe…
