Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Rectifiers: A New Design Based on Asymmetric Anchoring Moieties
Colin Van Dyck,Mark A. Ratner +1 more
TL;DR: Three simple rules are introduced to design an efficient rectifying molecule and demonstrate its functioning at the theoretical level, relying on the NEGF-DFT technique, which requires both the introduction of asymmetric anchoring moieties and a decoupling bridge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photo-modulable molecular transport junctions based on organometallic molecular wires
Fanben Meng,Yves-Marie Hervault,Lucie Norel,Karine Costuas,Colin Van Dyck,Victor Geskin,Jérôme Cornil,Huey Hoon Hng,Stéphane Rigaut,Xiaodong Chen +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, photo-modulable molecular transport junctions are developed via on-wire lithography-fabricated nanogaps functionalized with a dithienylethene unit bearing two ruthenium fragments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large work function shift of gold induced by a novel perfluorinated azobenzene-based self-assembled monolayer.
Núria Crivillers,Silvio Osella,Colin Van Dyck,Giovanni Mattia Lazzerini,David Cornil,Andrea Liscio,Francesco Di Stasio,Shabbir M. Mian,Shabbir M. Mian,Oliver Fenwick,Federica Reinders,Markus Neuburger,Emanuele Treossi,Marcel Mayor,Marcel Mayor,Vincenzo Palermo,Franco Cacialli,Jérôme Cornil,Paolo Samorì +18 more
TL;DR: Self-assembled monolayers on gold based on a chemisorbed novel azobenzene derivative with a perfluorinated terminal phenyl ring are prepared and the modified substrate shows a significant work function increase compared to the bare metal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulating the charge injection in organic field-effect transistors: fluorinated oligophenyl self-assembled monolayers for high work function electrodes
Olivier James Fenwick,Colin Van Dyck,Kathiresan Murugavel,David Cornil,Federica Reinders,Sébastien Haar,Marcel Mayor,Marcel Mayor,Jérôme Cornil,Paolo Samorì +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model study based on the modulation of three key properties via chemisorption of fluorinated mono- or biphenylthiol molecules (PFBT and PF2BT, respectively) onto gold electrodes is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fermi Level Pinning and Orbital Polarization Effects in Molecular Junctions: The Role of Metal Induced Gap States
TL;DR: In this paper, the same alignment in spite of a varying ionization potential in the isolated compounds was shown to be a function of metal induced gap states (MIGS), and the degree of level pinning is intimately linked to orbital polarization when a bias is applied between the two electrodes.
