Manipulating and controlling the self-organisation of small collections of molecules, as an alternative to investigating individual molecules, has motivated researchers bent on …
We describe an ab initio method for calculating the electronic structure, electronic transport, and forces acting on the atoms, for atomic scale systems connected to semi-infinite …
By trapping molecules between two gold electrodes with a temperature difference across them, the junction Seebeck coefficients of 1, 4-benzenedithiol (BDT), 4, 4 …

We present an ab initio analysis of electron conduction through a C 60 molecular device. Charge transfer from the device electrodes to the molecular region is found to play a crucial …
Nanotechnology, science, and engineering spearhead the 21st century revolution that is leading to fundamental breakthroughs in the way materials, devices, and systems are …

We have studied electron transport properties of benzenedithiol and benzenedimethanethiol covalently bonded to gold electrodes by repeatedly creating a large number of molecular …
The conductance of single alkanedithiols covalently bound to gold electrodes has been studied by statistical analysis of repeatedly created molecular junctions. For each molecule …
We provide a theoretical estimate of the thermoelectric current and voltage over a Phenyldithiol molecule. We also show that the thermoelectric voltage is (1) easy to …
Progress in nanoscience is becoming increasingly dependent on simulation and modelling. This is due to a combination of three factors: the reduced size of nano-objects, the …
