The experimental value for the zero bias conductance of organic molecules coupled by thiol-groups to gold electrodes tends to be much smaller than the theoretical result based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, often by orders…
A first-principles approach based on Density Functional Theory and Non-Equilibrium Green's functions is used to study the molecular transport system consisting of benzenedithiolate connected with monoatomic gold and platinum electrodes.…
Thermopower measurements of molecular junctions have recently gained interest as a characterization technique that supplements the more traditional conductance measurements. Here we investigate the electronic conductance and thermopower of…
We report equilibrium and non-equilibrium conductance of terphenyl molecules with different anchoring groups including sulfur and nitrogen atom. The corresponding molecules are terphenyl-dithiols(TPDT) and diamino-terphenyl(DATP). The…
We theoretically study the electronic transport in the monolayer of dithiolated phenylene vinylene oligomeres coupled to the (111) surfaces of gold electrodes. We use non-equilibrium Green functions (NEGF) and density functional theory(DFT)…
Based on the matrix Green's function method combined with hybrid tight-binding / density functional theory, we calculate the conductances of a series of gold-dithiol molecule-gold junctions including benzenedithiol (BDT),…
We explore electron transport properties for the model of benzene-1, 4-dithiolate (BDT) molecule and for some other geometric models of benzene molecule attached to two semi-infinite one-dimensional metallic electrodes using the Green's…
The measured conductance distribution for single molecule benzenediamine-gold junctions, based on 59,000 individual conductance traces recorded while breaking a gold point contact in solution, has a clear peak at 0.0064 G$_{0}$ with a width…
It is often assumed that the hydrogen atoms in the thiol groups of a benzene-1,4-dithiol dissociate when Au-benzene-1,4-dithiol-Au junctions are formed. We demonstrate, by stability and transport properties calculations, that this…
Combining density functional theory calculations for molecular electronic structure with a Green function method for electron transport, we calculate from first principles the molecular conductance of benzene connected to two Au leads…

The calculation of electronic conductance of nano-scale junctions from first principles is a long standing problem in molecular electronics. Here we demonstrate excellent agreement with experiments for the transport properties of the…
Conjugated molecules are materials which are widely studied and developed for molecular electronic technologies focusing on single molecule devices. In this paper we observed the molecular conductance of single molecule based on n phenyl…

We demonstrate a new class of molecules for exceptional performance in molecular electronics and spintronics. Phenalenyl-based radicals are stable radicals whose electronic properties can be tuned readily by heteroatom substitution. We…
Most theoretical studies of nanoscale transport in molecular junctions rely on the combination of the Landauer formalism with Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT) using standard local and semilocal functionals to approximate exchange…
Two new photo-switchable terphenylthiazoles molecules are synthesized and self-assembled as monolayers on Au and on ferromagnetic Co electrodes. The electron transport properties probed by conductive atomic force microscopy in ultra-high…
