Crossover in the inelastic electron tunneling spectra of conjugated molecules with direct Au–C links
Literature Information
Enrique Montes, Giuseppe Foti, Héctor Vázquez
We use inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) first-principles simulations to identify and characterize the different vibrational modes of single conjugated molecules bonded to Au metal electrodes. The molecules are polyphenyls (with 1 to 4 benzene units) bonded to Au via highly conducting direct Au–C bonds. The short molecule shows near resonant elastic transmission, with a crossover to tunneling for the longer backbones. The calculated inelastic spectra exhibit dips in the IETS signal of the short molecule and peaks for the longer molecules. We characterize the symmetry of vibrational modes and scattering states and discuss the changes with increasing length, where the inelastic signal of different modes can be amplified, quenched or present a crossover as more benzene units are added to the molecular backbone. This analysis rationalizes the observed trends as a function of molecular length and illustrates the role of electronic and vibrational properties on Au–C bonded molecular junctions.

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.
