First-principles molecular transport calculation for the benzenedithiolate molecule

A first-principles approach based on density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green’s functions is used to study the molecular transport system consisting of benzenedithiolate connected with monoatomic gold and platinum electrodes. Using symmetry arguments we explain why the conductance mechani...
