説明

Electron transport through the melamine molecule was studied. Melamine molecules adsorbed on a Cu(100) surface were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations with the dynamical matrix method. On the basis of calculation results, a model Hamiltonian for a system composed of scanning tunneling microscope (STM), a melamine molecule, and a Cu surface was proposed, taking into account electron–vibron (electron–molecular vibrations) interactions within the melamine molecule. Then, the electronic current was formulated by the nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method. Results show that current is affected by the electron–vibron interactions defined in the melamine molecule through its controllable structural changes. The rectification and fluctuation of current are triggered by low-energy electron–vibron interactions. Furthermore, the electron–vibron interaction effect is found to be enhanced as temperature increases to where higher-energy vibrons begin to be excited at lower energies. How...
