Current fluctuations of polymeric chains
摘要
Coherent electron transport is investigated in a molecular device made of polymeric chain sandwiched between two metallic electrodes. Molecular system is described by a simple Huckel model, while the coupling to the electrodes is treated through the use of Newns-Anderson chemisorption theory. Transport characteristics and noise power are calculated in two response regimes: linear and nonlinear, respectively. Here is shown a strong dependence of the shot noise on: (i) the length of the polymeric chain and (ii) the strength of the molecule-to-electrodes coupling. In particular, detailed discussion of Poissonian to sub-Poissonian crossover in the noise spectra is included. Presented algorithm allows to calculate the lowest possible level of current fluctuations (due to Pauli exclusion principle) in designing molecular devices.
