Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and Frontier Molecular Orbital (FMO) analysis have been carried out at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory on some Donor-Bridge-Acceptor (D-B-A) molecules for their electrical rectification behavior. The donor-acceptor-heterocyclics (D/A-heterocyclics) (namely thiophene, furan and pyrrole rings) are attached as donor and acceptors to the two ends of cumulenic bridge. FMO analysis indicates that the molecules having even number of double bonds in the bridge, possess a complete localization of the MOs i.e., the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) are localized on the donor and the acceptor side of the molecules respectively, and LUMO+1 is localized on the donor side, where as in case of odd number of double bonds in the bridge, both the HOMO and LUMOs are delocalized all over the molecule. The Potential Drop (PD) in the former case decreases as the number of double bonds increases in the bridge and due to the presence of the mutually orthogonal and noninteracting π-clouds, they can act as molecular rectifiers. For the molecules with the odd number of double bonds due to the low-lying LUMO delocalized all over the molecule, may find application as molecular wires in molecular electronics circuits. [...]

We present an extensive theoretical study of a series of phenothiazine derivatives adsorbed on Au(111). A series of experimentally accessible quantities are calculated (ultra-violet photoemission spectra, scanning tunneling microscopy images). All simulations were performed by using DFT techniques and LCAO expansion of the molecular orbitals. The microscopic picture established in this work provides a deeper understanding of the interfacial processes that govern the working principle of single-molecule electronics and organic electronic devices.

We used STM to study the conductivity of 32 nucleotide long DNA molecules chemically attached to a gold surface. Two oligonucleotides containing all four base types namely G, A, C, T, one single stranded and one double helical, all showed conductance data significantly higher than DNA containing only T and A that were either single stranded d(T32) or double helical d(T32).d(A32) in confirmation. Within each sequence group, the conductivity of the double helical form was always higher than that of the single strand. We discuss the impact of structure, particular base stacking and affinity to the phase transition.

An analytical approach to the electron transport phenomena in molecular devices is presented. The analyzed devices are composed of various molecular bridges attached to two semi-infinite electrodes. Molecular system is described within the tight-binding model, while the coupling to the electrodes is analyzed through the use of Newns-Anderson chemisorption theory. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics are calculated through the integration of transmission function in the standard Landauer formulation. The essential question of quantum interference effect of electron waves is diseussed in three aspects: (i) the geometry of a molecular bridge, (ii) the presence of an external magnetic field and (iii) the location of chemical substituent.

In this work we study the effect of decoherence on elastic and polaronic transport via discrete quantum states. Calculations are performed with the help of a nonperturbative computational scheme, based on Green’s function theory within the framework of polaron transformation (GFT-PT), where the many-body electron-phonon interaction problem is mapped exactly into a single-electron multi-channel scattering problem. In particular, the influence of dephasing and relaxation processes on the shape of the electrical current and shot noise curves is discussed in detail under linear and nonlinear transport conditions.

In the present review we highlight the main research activities in the field of organic photonics and photovoltaics at the Institute for Problems of Chemical Physics of Russian Academy of Sciences (IPCP RAS). Extensive investigation of optical and electrical properties of π-conjugated organic compounds performed at IPCP RAS since 1960’s resulted in design of many exciting materials representing organic semiconductors, metals and superconductors. Organic Schottky barrier and p/n junction photovoltaic devices constructed at IPCP RAS in 1960’s and 1970’s were among the first examples of reasonably efficient organic solar cells at that time. These early discoveries inspired younger generations of the researchers to continue the work of their mentors and explore the world of organic materials and photonic devices such as molecular photonic switches, organic light emitting diodes, solar cells, photodetectors, photoswitchable organic field-effect transistors and memory elements.
