摘要:
设计具有高电导率且能促进长距离高效电荷传输的分子纳米线,对于未来的分子级电路极具吸引力。然而,大多数分子线充当隧穿势垒,其电导率随长度的增加呈指数级衰减。直到最近,才有少数研究显示电导率随长度增加而上升。在本研究中,我们识别出一类新型分子线,根据其与电极的连接点,这类分子线在室温电导率上随长度既表现出上升也表现出下降(双重衰减因子)。我们证明,这种双重衰减因子是这些类石墨烯纳米线的固有属性,其展示依赖于不同电极连接方式下的相长量子干涉图样。这一点意义重大,因为特定的纳米石墨烯分子线可以同时表现出负和正的衰减因子。这使得能够为未来的分子级电路系统性地设计依赖于连接性的高/低电导率分子线。
英文摘要:
Designing molecular nanowires with high electrical conductance that facilitate efficient charge transport over long distances is highly desirable for future molecular-scale circuitry. However, most molecular wires act as tunnel barriers, and their electrical conductance decays exponentially with increasing length. Only recently have a few studies shown increasing conductance with length. In this study, we identify a new class of molecular wires that exhibit both an increase and a decrease in room-temperature conductance with length (a dual attenuation factor), depending on their connection points to the electrodes. We show that this dual attenuation factor is an inherent property of these graphene-like nanowires, and its demonstration depends on the constructive quantum interference pattern for different connectivities to the electrodes. This is significant because a given nanographene molecular wire can show both negative and positive attenuation factors. This enables the systematic design of connectivity-dependent high/low-conductance molecular wires for future molecular-scale circuitry.
