摘要
For molecule-scale transport systems, a mechanism that the charge distribution of molecule under the various bias voltages can induce strong effect of rectification and negative differential resistance is proposed. Based on nonequilibrium Green's function combined with density functional theory, the proposal is testified by performing the first-principles calculations of transport characteristics of 2-(4'-thiolate-butyl)-6-thiol-anthrecene molecule sandwiched in two gold electrodes. The strong effect of rectification and negative differential resistance is obtained. The rectification effect is as large as 16. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3447380]
