Dynamic current suppression and gate voltage response in metal-molecule-metal junctions

We critically re-examine conductance in benzenedithiol (BDT)/gold junctions using real-time DFT simulations. Our results indicate a powerful influence of the BDT molecular charge on current, with negative charge suppressing electron transport. This effect occurs dynamically as the BDT charge and cur...
