Abstract

There has been significant work investigating the use of molecules as nanoscale rectifiers in so-called "molecular electronics". However, less attention has been paid to optimizing the design parameters of molecular rectifiers or to their inherent limitations. Here we use a barrier tunneling model to examine the degree of rectification that can be achieved and to provide insight for the design and development of molecules with optimum rectification responses.

摘要

在所谓的“分子电子学”领域，已经有大量工作在研究将分子用作纳米级整流器。然而，对于优化分子整流器的设计参数或其固有局限性的关注较少。在此，我们使用势垒隧穿模型来研究能够实现的整流程度，并为设计和开发具有最佳整流响应的分子提供见解。
