Length-dependent conductance of molecular wires and contact resistance in metal–molecule–metal junctions

Molecular wires are covalently bonded to gold electrodes—to form metal–molecule–metal junctions—by functionalizing each end with a SH group. The conductance of a wide variety of molecular junctions is studied theoretically by using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) combined with the n...
