The effect of electric field, applied on systems in the nanoscale regime has attracted a lot of research in recent times. We highlight some of the recent results in the field of single molecule electronics and then move on to focus on some…
Motivated by recent experiments, we have studied transport behavior of coupled quantum dot systems in the Coulomb blockade regime using the master (rate) equation approach. We explore how electron-electron interactions in a donor-acceptor…
Negative differential resistance (NDR) behavior observed in several transition metal oxides is crucial for developing next-generation memory devices and neuromorphic computing systems. NbO2-based memristors exhibit two regions of NDR at…
The negative differential resistance (NDR) response of Nb/NbOx/Pt cross-point devices is shown to have a polarity dependence due to the effect of the metal/oxide Schottky barriers on the contact resistance. Three distinct responses are…
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is drawing increasing attention as an insulator and substrate material to develop next generation graphene-based electronic devices. In this paper, we investigate the quantum transport in heterostructures…
We theoretically investigate negative differential resistance (NDR) for ballistic transport in semiconducting armchair graphene nanoribbon (aGNR) superlattices (5 to 20 barriers) at low bias voltages V_SD < 500 mV. We combine the graphene…
Negative differential thermal resistance (NDTR) in approximate graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) is investigated from one dimension to three dimensions by using classical molecular dynamics method. For single-layer GNRs, NDTR can not be observed…
In this paper, we report on the controllable negative differential resistance (NDR) in a proposed planar graphene superlattice structure. High value of peak to valley ratio (PVR) is predicted. This is significant because of appearance of…
Tunneling spectroscopy measurements have been carried out on a single molecule device formed by two Pd nanocrystals (dia, $\sim$5 nm) electronically coupled by a conducting molecule, dimercaptodiphenylacetylene. The I-V data, obtained by…
One of the ultimate goals of molecular electronics is to create technologies that will complement - and eventually supersede - Si-based microelectronics technologies. To reach this goal, electronic properties that mimic at least some of the…
Molecular electronics on silicon has distinct advantages over its metallic counterpart. We describe a theoretical formalism for transport through semiconductor-molecule heterostructures, combining a semi-empirical treatment of the bulk…
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study to get insight into both memory and negative differential resistance (NDR) effect in organic memory devices. The theoretical model we propose is simply a one-dimensional metallic…
We propose and demonstrate through first-principles calculation a new spin-dependent negative differential resistance (NDR) mechanism in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) with cubic cation disordered crystals (CCDC) AlO$_x$ or…
We demonstrate that the different magnetic states of a Mn12 molecule can be distinguished in a two-probe transport experiment from a complete knowledge of the current-voltage curve. Our results, obtained with state-of-the-art…
The electronic property of NiFe$_2$O$_4$ nanowire device is investigated through nonequilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) in combination with density functional theory (DFT). The electronic transport properties of NiFe$_2$O$_4$ nanowire are…
Multipeak negative differential resistance (NDR) molecular devices are designed from first principles. The effect of NDR is associated with the non-linear Stark shifts and the electron localization within the conductive region and contacts.…
We introduce a theoretical approach based on scattering theory and total energy methods that treats transport non-linearities, conformational changes and charging effects in molecular wires in a unified way. We apply this approach to…
We have carried out calculations of electron transport through a metal-molecule-metal junction with metal nanoclusters taking the part of electrodes. We show that negative differential resistance peaks could appear in the current-voltage…
We study the electronic and transport properties of two novel molecular wires made of atomic chains of carbon atoms (polyynes) capped with either, benzene-thiols or pyridines. While both molecules are structurally similar, the electrical…
Field effect transistors with channels made of graphene layer(s) were explored. The graphene layer(s) contacted a distributed array of well-separated semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). The dots were embedded in nano-structured hole-array;…
