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. © 2007 American Chemical Society.
