The Electrical rectification properties of an asymmetric molecule’s amine group and nitro group has been studied by placing the compound between two gold electrodes and using Extended Hückel, Parametric and non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalisms. The conductance of the device falls exponentially with an increased number of CH2 moieties in the molecule. Current rectification was observed based on HOMO, LUMO gaps and potential drop across the molecules. The investigation of the spatial dispersion of frontier orbitals, the highest occupied molecular orbitals, lowest unoccupied molecular (HOMO-LUMO) of the molecule command the transmission of electrons in the molecule. The results demonstrate that, depending on the group of molecules and number of CH2 moieties present, current shipping from left side of device to right side of device based on orbital energy gaps. Our findings demonstrate that a true molecular diode can be created, and thus miniaturize the electronic circuit’s size to the Nano scale.
Keywords: HOMO, LUMO, orbital energy, molecular diode, NEGF.

What i do not understood is actually how you are now not really a lot more smartly-liked than you may be now. You are so intelligent. You realize thus considerably in the case of this matter, made me in my view imagine it from numerous varied angles. Its like women and men are not fascinated except it is one thing to accomplish with Woman gaga! Your individual stuffs outstanding. At all times maintain it up!
