Resumo:
In this work, we simulate the electronic distribution properties as charge in two molecular organic compounds, the Ponceau SS (PSS) and Oligo-(para)phenylene-vinylene (PPV), by means of ab initio calculations and the Nonequilibrium Green function (NEGF) method. These methods demonstrate equivalence to the description of molecular device. We make quantum calculations for the Hamiltonian derivative Hartree-Fock (HF) and obtained the current-voltage characteristics (I-V) for the two molecular structures. With the method NEFG, we model the transport through of electronics multilevel system obtaining the current by parameters that describe the resonances and the asymmetry of the system. In response the PSS demonstrated an asymmetric characteristic for direct and reverse polarization, the resonance is reached and confirm the device as a bi-directional molecular transistor. For the PPV also investigate the geometric properties through the connection between electronic transport and the degree of chirality calculated means chiral index that only depends on the atomic positions. Since, the structural properties of chiral molecules can induce an asymmetry in the electron transport, resulting in the grinding process. We demonstrated that corrent-voltage and dipole moment are proportional to the degree of molecular chirality. This result suggests that the electronic transport in this system can be exploited in assessing the degree of chirality.
