Although conductance measurements of single molecule and few molecules junctions are currently being reported, there is a striking rarity of molecular rectification in these reports. Molecular rectification can be defined as the absence of inversion symmetry, I(V)=-I(-V), where I and V are the measured current and applied voltage. In molecular junctions of the form metal/molecule/metal, there is generally...
Evidences of asphaltene aggregation are presented through the application of the Z-scan technique to study the nonlinear optical response of solutions of asphaltenes in toluene. Strong dependence of the two photon absorption coefficients (β) with the input intensity was observed for concentrated solutions, as opposed to the observed behavior at low concentration. The results suggest that a change...
An analytical expression is obtained for the I-V curves for a tight-binding model of a molecule-metal junction for off-resonance injection. The derivation takes into account a self-consistent determination of the voltage that leads to a spatial pattern where the voltage drop occurs at the molecule-wire interface. The relevance of this model for electron transfer reactions and molecular conductance...
