First-principles study of the field-induced current-switch by dithiocarboxylate anchoring group in molecular junction

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Based on non-equilibrium Green’s function and first-principles calculations, we investigate the electronic transport properties of 4,40-biphenyl bis (dithiocarboxylate) (BDCT) molecular junction with the fieldinduced geometry relaxation. The results indicate that the external field has noticeable effects on the molecular structure, coupling strengths and bonding distances. More importantly, it is found that the inclusion of field-induced molecular geometry relaxation can predict a current-switch behavior, which may have some potential applications in future molecular circuit.
