Extreme electron transport suppression in siloxane ring-based molecular devices
Literature Information
Jie Li, Yunrui Duan, Tao Li, Hui Li
Single-molecule device studies have traditionally focused on highly conducting examples. However, molecular insulators are as important as molecular conductors for progress in nanoscale electronics. This work innovatively reveals the promising prospects and the superiority of siloxane molecular rings to achieve the same function as SiO2 on the single molecule scale, functioning as a molecular insulator in electronics, and theoretically analyzes the size-dependent electron transport decay of siloxane ring-based single-molecule devices in contrast to alkane ring-based ones. Results indicate that siloxane ring-based devices possess stronger transport suppression and steeper transport recession than alkane ring-based ones, which is attributed to weaker electronic coupling through the backbone of siloxane rings and is intrinsic to the nature of the Si–O bond. Furthermore, the electron transport decay in each kind of molecular ring-based device originates from the increasing degree of overall structural fluctuations in the molecular rings.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
