Tunnelling currents through tunnelling junctions comprising molecules with cross-conjugation are markedly lower than for their linearly conjugated analogues. This effect has been shown experimentally and theoretically to arise from destructive quantum interference, which is understood be an intrinsic, electronic property of molecules. Here we show experimental evidence conformation-driven interference effects by examining through-space conjugation in π-conjugated fragments arranged face-on...

This paper describes tunneling junctions comprising self-assembled monolayers that can be converted between resistor and diode functionality in-place. The rectification ratio is affected by the hydration of densely packed carboxylic acid groups at interface top-contact monolayer. We studied this process treatment with water a scavenger using three different top-contacts, eutectic Ga–In (EGaIn), conducting-probe atomic force microscopy (CP-AFM), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), demonstrating...

This paper describes a simple model for comparing the degree of electronic coupling between molecules and electrodes across different large-area molecular junctions. The resulting parameter can be obtained directly from current-voltage data or extracted published without fitting. We demonstrate generalizability this by over 40 junctions comprising measured laboratories. results agree with existing models, reflect differences in mechanisms charge transport rectification, are predictive cases...

Abstract We carry out Monte Carlo simulations of electron transport in 4H-silicon carbide (4H-SiC) based on the numerically calculated density states (DOS) to obtain mobility at low electric fields. From results, it can be concluded that a correct calculation DOS requires very dense wavevector k -mesh when kinetic energies are considered. The crucial issue is numerical efficiency calculation. investigate scaling different numbers cores used.
