We develop a new general formulation to explore light-driven electron transport through a single-molecule device with multiple pathways. Three individual systems are proposed including (i) a two-terminal molecular junction based on…
The dependence of the transport properties on the specific location of the Fermi level in molecular electronics devices is studied by using electrodes of different materials. The zero-bias transport properties are shown to depend…
We study 95 split gates of different size on a single chip using a multiplexing technique. Each split gate defines a one-dimensional channel on a modulation-doped GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure, through which the conductance is quantized. The…
Recent experiments have provided evidence that one-dimensional (1D) topological superconductivity can be realized experimentally by placing transition metal atoms that form a ferromagnetic chain on a superconducting substrate. We address…
We present first principles calculations of current-voltage characteristics (IVC) and conductance of Au(111):S2-cumulene-S2:Au(111) molecular wire junctions with realistic contacts. The transport properties are calculated using full…
We study the electronic properties of dual-gated electron-hole bilayers in which the two layers are separated by a perfectly opaque tunnel barrier. Combining an electrostatic and thermodynamic analysis with mean-field theory estimates of…
Quantum transport in a narrow constriction, and in the presence of a finite-range time-modulated potential, is studied. The potential is taken the form $V(x,t) = V_{0} \theta(x)\theta(a-x)\cos(\omega t)$, with $a$ the range of the potential…
We report the synthesis and the electrical properties of fullerene-based molecular junctions on silicon substrate in which the highly \pi-conjugated molecule C60 (\pi quantum well) is isolated from the electrodes by alkyl chains (\sigma…
The influence of multiple vibrational modes on current fluctuations in electron transport through single-molecule junctions is investigated. Our analysis is based on a generic model of a molecular junction, which comprises a single…
We study the electronic properties of a linear trans-polyacetylene (tPA) molecule capacitively coupled to an external gate voltage $V_g$ of width $d$. We describe this system using the Takayama-Lin-Liu-Maki (TLM) model in the continuum, and…
Superconducting wires with broken time-reversal and spin-rotational symmetries can exhibit two distinct topological gapped phases and host bound Majorana states at the phase boundaries. When the wire is tuned to the transition between these…
We demonstrate that a simple phenomenological approach can be used to simulate electronic conduction in molecular wires under thermal effects induced by the surrounding environment. This "Landauer-B\"uttiker's probe technique" can properly…
In our theoretical study where we combine a nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) approach with density functional theory (DFT) we investigate branched compounds containing ferrocene moieties in both branches which due to their metal…
We report the fabrication and photoluminescence properties of laterally-coupled GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots. The coupling in the quantum dot molecules is tuned by an external electric field. An intricate behavior, consisting of spectral line…
We investigate the coherent transport properties of a DNA chain on a substrate which is subjected to a uniform electric field perpendicular to the surface. On the basis of the effective tight-binding model which simulates charge transport…
We report on the charge carrier dynamics in single lateral quantum dot molecules and the effect of an applied electric field on the molecular states. Controllable electron tunneling manifests itself in a deviation from the typical excitonic…
Motivated by recent experimental studies of hydrogen-bonded molecular conductors $\kappa$-$X_3$(Cat-EDT-TTF)$_2$ [$X$=H, D], interplays of protons and correlated electrons, and their effects on magnetic, dielectric, and optical properties,…
For investigation of electron transport on the nanoscale, a system possessing a simple to interpret electronic structure is composed of alkane chains bridging two electrodes via end groups; to date the majority of experiments and…
The electron tunneling through a molecular junction modeled by a single site weakly coupled to two leads is studied in the presence of a time-dependent external field using a master equation approach. In the case of small bias voltages and…
We report first principles analysis of electron-phonon coupling in molecular devices under external bias voltage and during current flow. Our theory and computational framework are based carrying out density functional theory within the…
