Quantum Transport Through Tunable Molecular Diodes

Abstract Employing self-interaction corrected density functional theory combined with the non-equilibrium Green’s function method, we study the quantum transport through molecules with different numbers of phenyl (donor) and pyrimidinyl (acceptor) rings in order to evaluate the effects of the molecu...
