Area of Science:

  • Molecular electronics
  • Quantum chemistry
  • Condensed matter physics

Background:

  • Understanding electron transport in complex molecular systems is crucial for developing advanced electronic devices.
  • Molecular networks with multiple donor and acceptor sites present unique challenges for predicting tunneling dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the "deep" electronic tunneling dynamics in molecular networks with more than two donor/acceptor sites.
  • To develop a theoretical model for controlling tunneling pathways within these networks.

Main Methods:

  • Formulation of "deep" tunneling dynamics using a recursive perturbation expansion.
  • Derivation of a McConnell-type reduced N-level model Hamiltonian.
  • Application to models of molecular junctions.
