Abstract:
Theoretical investigation has been performed on electron
transport properties of 4, 4'- diamino biphenyl based molecules
that are sandwiched between two gold surfaces. Dependence of the
molecular electronic structure of the gold–molecule complex on
the external electric field is studied too. The electronic
conduction has been analyzed from the change in the shape of
molecular orbital and the evolution of the HOMO–LUMO gap of the
gold-molecule complex under the influence of the electric filed.
Density functional calculations are performed to analyze the
conduction process through various aromatic bridges in a donor–bridge–donor
molecular wire through frontier molecular orbital analysis.
According to Systematic study on the molecular orbital
populations, five and six member hetero-aromatic rings (electron-rich)
in the conduction path are inserted between the donor–donor
complexes. Values of Potential barrier (PB) that have been
determined experimentally and reached the conclusion is
mentioned later in this paper.
