Transport in molecular electronic devices is different from that in semiconductor mesoscopic
devices in two important aspects:(1) the effect of the electronic structure and (2) the effect of …

Nanotechnology, science, and engineering spearhead the 21st century revolution that is
leading to fundamental breakthroughs in the way materials, devices, and systems are …

We review recent theoretical work on current-triggered processes in molecular-scale
devices—a field at the interface between solid state physics and chemical dynamics with …

The technology to build and study nanowires with sizes ranging from individual atoms to
tens of nanometres has been developing rapidly over the last few years. We survey the …

We present a semiempirical model for calculating electron transport in atomic-scale devices.
The model is an extension of the extended Hückel method with a self-consistent Hartree …

The use of individual molecules as functional electronic devices was proposed in 1974 (ref.).
Since then, advances in the field of nanotechnology have led to the fabrication of various …

We present a theoretical study of spin-dependent transport through molecular wires bridging
ferromagnetic metal nanocontacts. We extend to magnetic systems a recently proposed …

We derive a general result that can be used to evaluate and compare the transconductance
of different field-effect mechanisms in molecular transistors, both electrostatic and …

Abstract Using the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green function technique, we study the current
and shot-noise spectroscopy of a single-molecular quantum dot coupled to a local phonon …

We propose a model of electrical conduction through self-assembled monolayers (SAM's) of
organic molecules that bridge the gap between a pair of nanoscale metallic contacts. In this …
