“…If the island is small, the energy gap between the last electron (N ) and the first empty electron (N + 1), which corresponds to the HOMO-LUMO gap of the molecule, is larger than the thermal energy k B T in the system, where k B is Boltzmann's constant and T is the temperature. Therefore, the energy for electrons to pass over the gap is not enough, resulting in the Coulomb blockade (figure 12(a)) [133].…”

Single-molecule optoelectronic devices promise a potential solution for miniaturization and functionalization of silicon-based microelectronic circuits in the future. For decades of its fast development, this field has made significant progress in the synthesis of optoelectronic materials, the fabrication of single-molecule devices and the realization of optoelectronic functions. On the other hand, single-molecule optoelectronic devices offer a reliable platform to investigate the intrinsic physical phenomena and regulation rules of matters at the single-molecule level. To further realize and regulate the optoelectronic functions toward practical applications, it is necessary to clarify the intrinsic physical mechanisms of single-molecule optoelectronic nanodevices. Here, we provide a timely review to survey the physical phenomena and laws involved in single-molecule optoelectronic materials and devices, including charge effects, spin effects, exciton effects, vibronic effects, structural and orbital effects. In particular, we will systematically summarize the basics of molecular optoelectronic materials, and the physical effects and manipulations of single-molecule optoelectronic nanodevices. In addition, fundamentals of single-molecule electronics, which are basic of single-molecule optoelectronics, can also be found in this review. At last, we tend to focus the discussion on the opportunities and challenges arising in the field of single-molecule optoelectronics, and propose further potential breakthroughs.

We use all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to investigate ionic conduction in a short, charged, single-wall carbon nanotube. They reveal ionic Coulomb blockade (ICB) oscillations in the current as a function of the fixed charge on the wall, and an associated occupancy staircase. Current peaks related to fluctuations around the 2 → 1 and 1 → 0 steps in occupancy are clearly resolved, in agreement with ICB theory. Current peaks were also observed at constant occupancy. These unpredicted secondary peaks are attributed to edge effects involving a remote knock-on mechanism; they are attenuated, or absent, for certain choices of model parameters. The key parameters of the system that underlie the current oscillations are estimated using ICB theory and the potential of the mean force. Future perspectives opened up by these observations are discussed.
