Aviram-Ratner diode

EH methods have been used to scan the conductance properties of molecular wires for a variety of chemical compositions [15] and the influence of the way they are interconnected to each other has also been addressed [16]. For the physically more complex issue of the influence of details of the molecule/electrode interface and related electron density polarization and charge transfer effects, DFT simulations have been performed for chemically rather simple test systems such as dithio-phenyl radicals [17] or the original proposal for the Aviram-Ratner diode [18]. For the research in this field in the future, it is expected that both methods will be further developed and... 

Acceptor/Sensitizer/Donor Multilayer Systems A variety of electronic components with molecular dimensions have been investigated since the introduction of the foresighted concept of molecular diode by Aviram and Ratner [30]. For example, Mezger and Panetta [31] have made an effort to realize the molecular diode proposed by them.
