ELECTRONIC TRANSPORT THROUGH THE METALOFULERENE MOLECULAR JUNCTIONS

A theoretical study of quantum transport through the metaloflurene molecular junction is presented by applying Keldysh nonequilibrium Green's function formalism. The effects of doped atom and position of metal on electronic transport are considered. By incorporating an extra atom at center of fullerene molecule, it is possible to control current in loops and hence the progress of transport. At low applied voltage doping and quantum confinement of the encaged atom in fullerene increases current.
