Precise control of single-phenanthrene junction’s conductance

Abstract

The electronic transmission of fifteen potential configurations of single-phenanthrene junction has been theoretically investigated. The structures include para-para, para-meta, and meta-meta combined with phenyl pendant group and substituted nitrogen atom. The results show that the para-meta, which offers a tunable antiresonance in the HOMO-LUMO gap, is the most suitable for synthesizing nano-device. The antiresonance is susceptible (unsusceptible) to the heteromotif location at site four (five). Hence, our paper presents the appropriate hetero-motif conditionstype and location-to synthesize molecular devices with the desired electronic conductance. The study also deepen the understanding of the molecular conductance by demonstrating the active and inactive sites to create and tune antiresonances. It finally introduces the essential impact of connectivity, quantum interference, and aromaticity in controlling the conductance of singlephenanthrene junction.

Theoretical Study of Electronic and Thermoelectric Properties of Ultra-Thin Silicene and Germanene

“…It has been reported that graphene has the highest intrinsic limit for electrical mobility at room temperature [7], which is a good reason for thermoelectric uses. However, experiments have shown that the heat conductivity of a single layer of suspended graphene is between ((4.84 ± 0.44) × 10 3 to (5.30 ± 0.48) × 10 3 W/m k) at room temperature [8], and this is approximately the highest found thermal conductivity of any material while extremely high thermal conductivity helps electronics get rid of heat, but it makes graphene less useful as a thermoelectric material because the efficiency of energy transfer is inversely proportional to thermal conductivity [9]. Graphene doesn't have an energy gap, so its Seebeck value is very small [10].…”

“…In theory, germanene has a Dirac point, and its structural and electronic properties are very close to those of silicene. This is because the bulk Si and Ge have a small electronic gap, which makes the Seebeck value much higher [20]. In this study, we are going to investigate more details about fully crystalline and deformation of two dimensions Si and Ge, such as thermal conductance and electrical features using density functional theory combined with nonequivalent green theory.…”

Effect the concentration of NH3 gas adsorbed on the graphene sheet on the electrical and thermal properties: A theoretical study

“…Graphene has been investigated for application in gas sensors because of its huge specific surface area (2630 m 2 g) and high sensitivity to electrical interruptions of gas molecule adsorption [14]. Graphene…”
