We have developed NEMO-VN2, a new quantum device modeling tool that simulates a wide variety of quantum devices including the resonant tunneling diode, the single electron transistor, the molecular field effect transistor, the carbon nanotube field effect transistor, and the spin field effect transistor. In this work the nonequilibrium Green’s function is used to perform a comprehensive study of the emerging nanoelectronics devices. The program has been written by using graphic user interface of Matlab. NEMO-VN2 uses Matlab to solve Schrodinger equation to get current-voltage characteristics of quantum devices. In the paper, we present a short overview of the theoretical methodology using non-equilibrium Green’s function for modeling of various quantum devices and typical simulations used to illustrate the capabilities of the NEMO-VN2.

We investigated the electron transport properties of thiophen-bithiol-based molecular wires through atomic metal–thiophen–metal systems using the first principle methods. Various metal–thiophen–metal atomic systems are constructed with different end atoms (S, Se, and Te). The electron transport of the atomic system is systematically studied by analysis of transmission function, density of states, and current–voltage characteristics of the systems.

The effect of CO adsorption on the electron transport behavior of single iron(II)-porphyrin molecular wire with sulfur end groups bonded to two gold electrodes isinvestigated using nonequilibrium Green's function formalism combined with firstprinciples density functional theory. The current-voltage characteristics of the singleFe-porphyrin molecular wires with and without CO adsorption are calculated. Theresults demonstrate that Fe-porphyrin molecular wire shows a negative differentialresistance (NDR) at 2.0 V
