Off-resonant charge transport through molecular junctions has been extensively studied since the advent of single-molecule electronics and it is now well understood within the framework of the non-interacting Landauer approach. Conversely,…
The transport through a quantum-scale device may be characterized by the transmission eigenvalues. These values constitute a junction PIN code where, for example, in single-atom metallic contacts the number of transmission channels is also…
