Communication: Electronic and transport properties of molecular junctions under a finite bias: A dual mean field approach

Journal Article Liu, Shuanglong ; Feng, Yuan Ping ; Zhang, Chun ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

We show that when a molecular junction is under an external bias, its properties cannot be uniquely determined by the total electron density in the same manner as the density functional theory for ground state properties. In order to correctly incorporate bias-induced nonequilibrium effects, we present a dual mean field (DMF) approach. The key idea is that the total electron density together with the density of current-carrying electrons are sufficient to determine the properties of the system. Two mean fields, one for current-carrying electrons and the other one for equilibrium electrons can then be derived. Calculations for a graphene nanoribbonmore »« less

Contribution of the metal/SiO{sub 2} interface potential to photoinduced switching in molecular single-electron tunneling junctions

Journal Article Noguchi, Yutaka ; Kubota, Tohru ; Mashiko, Shinro ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Photoinduced switching of the Coulomb staircase in molecular single-electron tunneling junctions was previously observed. These junctions consisted of evaporated SiO{sub 2} insulator ({approx}5 nm), with tetrakis-3,5-di-t-butylphenyl-porphyrin (H{sub 2}-TBPP) molecules as Coulomb islands, sandwiched between top and bottom electrodes. The reversible response and the relaxation time of the photoinduced switching suggest that this phenomenon depends on the properties of the metal/SiO{sub 2} interface rather than those of the H{sub 2}-TBPP molecule or SiO{sub 2} tunneling layer. We analyzed the photoinduced switching according to the theory of single-electron tunneling taking into account the discrete molecular energy states and the metal/SiO{sub 2} interfacialmore »« less

Mechanical and charge transport properties of alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers on Au (111) surface: The Role of Molecular Tilt

Journal Article Mulleregan, Alice ; Qi, Yabing ; Ratera, Imma ; ... - Langmuir

The relationship between charge transport and mechanical properties of alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAM) on Au(111) films has been investigated using an atomic force microscope with a conductive tip. Molecular tilts induced by the pressure applied by the tip cause stepwise increases in film conductivity. A decay constant {beta} = 0.57 {+-} 0.03 {angstrom}{sup -1} was found for the current passing through the film as a function of tip-substrate separation due to this molecular tilt. This is significantly smaller than the value of {approx} 1 {angstrom}{sup -1} found when the separation is changed by changing the length of the alkanethiol molecules.more »« less
