Adsorbate-driven cooling of carbene-based molecular junctions

We study the role of an NH2 adsorbate on the current-induced heating and cooling of a neighboring carbene-based molecular circuit. We use first-principles methods of inelastic tunneling transport based on density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green’s functions to calculate the rates of emiss...
