摘要
Thanks to major advances in chemical and fabrication processes, various electronic devices based on single molecules have been demonstrated. On the theoretical level, many attempts have been made to provide a clear view of the charge transport mechanism through molecules. However, the overall picture is not yet complete. In this study, we show that the rectification of a molecular device can be controlled by enforcing the potential drop profile along the molecule. The insertion of a resistive molecular path near the metallic electrode(s) can drastically alter the rectification behavior. Our observation paves the way for a better control of molecular devices.
