Abstract In this work, within the framework of density functional theory combined with the method of nonequilibrium Green’s functions the density of states, transmission spectrum, current-voltage characteristics, and differential conductivity of Li-intercalated graphene (LiC6) have been determined. It is shown that in the energy range of -1.3÷-1.05 eV the quasiparticle transport through the nanostructure is disable. The features of IV- and dI/dV-characteristics of LiC6 in the form of decreasing of resistance in the range of -0.4÷0.4 V were revealed, and in the interval of 0.4÷1.4 V formation of negative differential resistance area, related to scattering of quasiparticles. It is established, that LiC6 nanodevice has 12÷13 ballistic channels and has the maximum amount of conductance 12÷13G0 , where Go is the conductance quantum.

The electronic transport properties of oligo p-phenylenevinylene (OPV) molecule sandwiched with symmetrical or asymmetric tailoring graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) electrodes are investigated by nonequilibrium Green’s function in combination with density functional theory. The results show that different tailored GNRs electrodes can modulate the current–voltage characteristic of molecular devices. The rectifying behavior can be observed with respect to electrodes, and the maximum rectification ratio can reach to 14.2 in the asymmetric AC–ZZ GNRs and ZZ–AC–ZZ GNRs electrodes system. In addition, the obvious negative differential resistance can be observed in the symmetrical AC-ZZ GNRs system.

The Density Functional Theory

The electronic transport properties of molecular devices constructed by conjugated molecular wire tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) have been studied by applying nonequilibrium Green’s functions in combination with the density-functional theory. Two molecular junctions with different wire lengths have been considered. The results show that the current–voltage curves of TTF devices can be modulated by the length of the molecular wire and negative differential resistance behaviors are observed in these systems. The mechanisms have been proposed for the length effect and negative differential resistance behavior.

AbstractThe current–voltage characteristics of n ^+-GaAs/ n ^0-GaAs/ N ^0-AlGaAs/ N ^+-AlGaAs/ n ^+-GaAs isotype heterostructures and n ^+-GaAs/ n ^0-GaAs/ n ^+-GaAs homostructures are studied. It is shown that, for a heterostructure under reverse bias providing the injection of electrons from n ^0-GaAs into N ^0-AlGaAs, the maximum operating voltage reaches a value of 48 V at a thickness of the N ^0-AlGaAs layer of 1 . 0 μm, and the current–voltage characteristic has no region of negative differential resistance. The operation of a homostructure is accompanied by a transition to the negative-differential-resistance region at a voltage of 10 V. Theoretical analysis in terms of the energy-balance model demonstrated that the reverse-biased isotype heterostructure has no negative-differential-resistance region because, in this case, the field domain does not collapse in contrast to what occurs in homostructures.

Abstract Understanding the mechanism of the negative differential resistance (NDR) in transition metal dichalcogenides is essential for fundamental science and the development of electronic devices. Here, the NDR of the current-voltage characteristics was observed based on the glutamine-functionalized WS2 quantum dots (QDs). The NDR effect can be adjusted by varying the applied voltage range, air pressure, surrounding gases, and relative humidity. A peak-to-valley current ratio as high as 6.3 has been achieved at room temperature. Carrier trapping induced by water molecules was suggested to be responsible for the mechanism of the NDR in the glutamine-functionalized WS2 QDs. Investigating the NDR of WS2 QDs may promote the development of memory applications and emerging devices.

Graphene oxide/sulphur compound was synthesized by Hammers method. The chemical composition, presence/quantity of functional groups, exfoliation level, number of layers, crystallite size of graphene oxide/sulphur were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy images. The current-voltage characteristics of the samples were measured in air at room temperature. In the I - V characteristic curve of graphene oxide/sulphur compound with the ratio of oxygen to carbon of 3.54 and that to sulphur of 42.54, negative differential resistance was observed. The negative differential resistance is attributed to current carrier transitions between the localized states formed by functional groups.

The electronic transport properties of pyrrole trimer sandwiched between two electrodes are investigated by using nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism combined first-principles density functional theory. Theoretical results show that the system manifests negative differential resistance (NDR) behavior. A detailed analysis of the origin of negative differential resistance has been given by observing the shift in transmission resonance peak across the bias window with varying bias voltage.
