Chen, Xiaoping published the artcileMolecular diodes with rectification ratios exceeding 105 driven by electrostatic interactions, COA of Formula: C15H29BrO2, the main research area is mol diode rectification ratio electrostatic interaction.
Mol. diodes operating in the tunnelling regime are intrinsically limited to a maximum rectification ratio R of ∼103. To enhance this rectification ratio to values comparable to those of conventional diodes (R ≥ 105) an alternative mechanism of rectification is therefore required. Here, the authors report a mol. diode with R = 6.3 × 105 based on self-assembled monolayers with Fc-C≃C-Fc (Fc, ferrocenyl) termini. The number of mols. (n(V)) involved in the charge transport changes with the polarity of the applied bias. More specifically, n(V) increases at forward bias because of an attractive electrostatic force between the pos. charged Fc units and the neg. charged top electrode, but remains constant at reverse bias when the Fc units are neutral and interact weakly with the pos. charged electrode. The authors successfully model this mechanism using mol. dynamics calculations
