Computational Modeling of Molecular Electronics

Abstract:
The main idea of “Molecular electronics” is using molecules to create analogues of functional units, such as transistors and diodes, in electronic devices. Because molecules are small and can form self-assembly structures, molecular electronics is a promising approach to realize “Nanoelectronics”. Understanding the conduction properties of molecular junctions is an important step for progress toward this direction. We use first-principles calculations to study quantum transport in molecular junctions to explain the different phenomena observed in recent experiments.
