The conductance of a molecular device is sensitive to the contact geometry between the molecules and the probing electrodes. Combining the density functional theory calculations (DFT) for molecular electronic structure with a non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) method for electron transport, we calculate the molecular conductance of carbon dimer connected between Au leads through two different anchoring atoms Se and Te. The current-voltage characteristics and transmission spectra of two systems are studied. The results exhibit that, depending on the anchoring groups and the subsequent different metal-molecule chemical bonds, the current varies over more than four times of magnitude under the same bias. Furthermore, the system exhibits negative differential resistance (NDR) effect, when anchored with Te atom. This emphasizes the great importance of the anchoring groups in molecular devices.
Keywords: anchoring group effects, electronic transport, first-principle, I-V characteristics.

Very interesting information!Perfect just what I was searching for!
Very informative and fantastic bodily structure of content material, now that’s user genial (:.
Good write-up, I?¦m normal visitor of one?¦s blog, maintain up the nice operate, and It’s going to be a regular visitor for a lengthy time.
Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips for newbie blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.
You are my aspiration, I own few web logs and often run out from to post : (.
I have been exploring for a bit for any high-quality articles or weblog posts on this sort of area . Exploring in Yahoo I finally stumbled upon this website. Reading this info So i?¦m glad to exhibit that I’ve an incredibly just right uncanny feeling I discovered just what I needed. I such a lot no doubt will make sure to don?¦t put out of your mind this website and provides it a glance regularly.

I like this weblog its a master peace ! Glad I detected this on google .
Hello, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated.
I gotta favorite this internet site it seems very helpful invaluable
I’d have to examine with you here. Which is not one thing I usually do! I take pleasure in reading a post that may make folks think. Additionally, thanks for permitting me to comment!
I will right away grab your rss as I can’t find your e-mail subscription link or e-newsletter service. Do you’ve any? Please let me know in order that I could subscribe. Thanks.
My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks for another fantastic post. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I’m on the look for such info.
Magnificent goods from you, man. I have be aware your stuff previous to and you’re simply extremely great. I really like what you have obtained right here, certainly like what you’re saying and the best way wherein you say it. You make it enjoyable and you continue to care for to stay it wise. I cant wait to learn far more from you. That is really a great website.
