The Role of Quantum Interference in Determining Transport Properties of Organic Molecules
Walczak, Kamil
Original · EN
An analytic approach to the electron transport phenomena in molecular devices is presented. Analyzed devices are composed of organic molecules attached to the two semi-infinite electrodes. Molecular system is described within the tight-binding model, while the coupling to the electrodes is analyzed through the use of Newns-Anderson chemisorption theory. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics are calculated through the integration of transmission function in the standard Landauer formulation. The essential question of quantum interference effect of electron waves is discussed in three aspects: (i) the geometry of molecular bridge and (ii) the presence of an external magnetic field and (iii) the strength of the molecule-to-electrodes coupling.
