基于石墨烯电极的蒽醌分子器件开关特性

研究了基于石墨烯电极的蒽醌分子器件的开关特性.分别选取了锯齿型和扶手椅型的石墨烯纳米带作为电极,考虑蒽醌基团在氧化还原反应下的两种构型,即氢醌(HQ)分子和蒽醌(AQ)分子,构建了双电极分子结,讨论了氧化还原反应和不同的电极结构对蒽醌分子器件开关特性的影响.研究发现,无论是锯齿型石墨烯电极还是扶手椅型石墨烯电极,HQ构型的电流都明显大于AQ构型的电流,即在氧化还原反应下蒽醌分子呈现出显著的开关特性.同时,当选用锯齿型石墨烯电极时其开关比最高能达到3125,选用扶手椅型石墨烯电极时开关比最高能达到1538.此外,当HQ构型以扶手椅型石墨烯为电极时,在0.7-0.75 V之间表现出明显的负微分电阻效应.因此该系统在未来分子开关器件领域具有潜在的应用价值.     

Negative Differential Resistance and Rectifying Effects of Diblock Co-Oligomer Molecule Devices Sandwiched between C_2N-h2D Electrodes

Based on nonequilibrium Green's function method in combination with density functional theory, we study the electronic transport properties of dipyrimidinyl-diphenyl molecules embedded in a carbon atomic chain sandwiched between zigzag graphene nanoribbon and different edge geometries C_2N-h2D electrodes. Compared with the graphene electrodes, the C_2N-h2D electrode can cause rectifying and negative differential resistance effects.For C_2N-h2D with zigzag edges, a more remarkable negative differential resistance phenomenon appears, whereas armchair-edged C_2N-h2D can give rise to much better rectifying behavior. These results suggest that this system can be potentially useful for designs of logic and memory devices.     

Effect of Chemical Doping on the Electronic Transport Properties of Tailoring Graphene Nanoribbons

The electronic transport properties of a molecular junction based on doping tailoring armchair-type graphene nanoribbons(AGNRs)with different widths are investigated by applying the non-equilibrium Green's function formalism combined with first-principles density functional theory.The calculated results show that the width and doping play significant roles in the electronic transport properties of the molecular junction.A higher current can be obtained for the molecular junctions with the tailoring AGNRs with W=11.Furthermore,the current of boron-doped tailoring AGNRs with widths W=7 is nearly four times larger than that of the undoped one,which can be potentially useful for the design of high performance electronic devices.

以齐聚苯乙炔分子为研究对象,采用密度泛函理论与非平衡格林函数相结合的第一性原理方法,对基于石墨烯电极的齐聚苯乙炔分子器件整流特性进行了研究,系统地分析了官能团对分子器件整流特性的影响.通过研究发现,官能团对齐聚苯乙炔分子器件整流特性影响显著,当添加失电子官能团氨基(NH_2)时出现正向整流,添加得电子官能团硝基(NO_2)时出现反向整流,当同时添加氨基和硝基官能团时,会出现正反向整流交替现象,研究结果表明通过添加不同类型的官能团能有效控制分子整流器的整流特性.
