SPP 1243: Quantum Transport at the Molecular Scale

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Molecular Electronics is recognised as a key candidate to succeed the silicon based technology once we have arrived at the end of the semiconductor roadmap. The use of organic molecules in nanoscale nonlinear circuits offers many opportunities for new types of devices, which will differ in fabrication, functionality, and architecture. But even the fundamental question how electrical current flows across a single molecule is not satisfactorily understood. The common goal of this Priority Programme is to strengthen the obligatory fundamental research activity in the field by combining different theoretical approaches, experimental techniques and to develop a full physical picture of molecular-scale charge transport.
