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.

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 cant wait to learn far more from you. That is really a great website.
Im not certain where you are getting your information, however great topic. I needs to spend some time finding out more or figuring out more. Thanks for great info I used to be on the lookout for this info for my mission.
Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thank you
Wonderful beat ! I wish to apprentice whilst you amend your website, how could i subscribe for a weblog site? The account helped me a appropriate deal. I had been tiny bit familiar of this your broadcast offered vivid clear concept
Hi, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, fantastic blog!
