Self-consistent study of single molecular transistor modulated by transverse field

We use a self-consistent method to study the current of the single molecular transistor modulated by the transverse field in the level of the density functional theory and the nonequilibrium Green function method. The numerical results show that both the polyacene-dithiol molecules and the fused-ring thiophene molecules are the potential high-frequency molecular transistors controlled by the transverse field. The longer molecules of the polyacene-dithiol or the fused-ring thiophene are in favor of realizing the gate-bias controlled molecular transistor. The theoretical results suggest the related experiments. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
