Polyynes are chains of sp 1 carbon atoms with alternating single and triple bonds. As they
become longer, they evolve towards carbyne, the 1D allotrope of carbon, and they become …

Single-molecule conductance generally decays exponentially with the length of the
molecule when the transport mechanism is a coherent tunneling process. However, it was …

This book provides an interdisciplinary guide to quasicrystals, the 2011 Nobel Prize in
Chemistry winning topic, by presenting an up-to-date and detailed introduction to the many …

The one-dimensional carbon allotrope carbyne, a linear chain of sp-hybridized carbon
atoms, is predicted to exist in a polyynic and a cumulenic structure. While molecular forms of …

Interlocking unstable motifs is a useful way to enhance their stability through shielding
protection. Now, stable interlocked polyynes bearing several macrocycles have been …

Molecule-based transistors have attracted much attention due to their exclusive properties.
Creation of a molecular transistor as well as engineering its structure have become one of …

The advent of femtosecond to attosecond experimental tools has made now possible to
study such ultrafast carrier dynamics, eg, the spatial and temporal charge density evolution …

We report on the electronic structure, density of states and transmission properties of the
periodic one-dimensional tight-binding (TB) lattice with a single orbital per site and nearest …

DNA sequences of ideal and natural geometries are examined, studying their charge
transport properties as mutation detectors. Ideal means textbook geometry. Natural means …

We study the electronic properties of coupled parallel polyyne chains in a couple of
symmetric stacking arrangements, namely the AA stacking and the AB stacking, with the …
