The measurement of thermopower in molecular junctions offers complementary information
to conductance measurements and is becoming essential for the understanding of transport …

Single-molecule optoelectronic devices promise a potential solution for miniaturization and
functionalization of silicon-based microelectronic circuits in the future. For decades of its fast …

With the advent of molecular electronics, tremendous attention has been paid towards
understanding the structure-function relationship of molecular junctions. Understanding how …

Machines are only Carnot efficient if they are reversible, but then their power output is
vanishingly small. Here we ask, what is the maximum efficiency of an irreversible device with …

We discuss the relationship between the π-conjugation pattern, molecular length, and
charge transport properties of molecular wires, both from an experimental and a theoretical …

This reference text presents a conceptual framework for understanding room-temperature
electron and phonon transport through molecules and other quantum objects. The flow of …

Excellent thermoelectric performance in molecular junctions requires a high power factor, a
low thermal conductance, and a maximum figure of merit (ZT) near the Fermi level. In the …

Motivated by recent experiments, we present here a detailed theoretical analysis of the joule
heating in current-carrying single-molecule junctions. By combining the Landauer approach …

We investigate the nonlinear scattering theory for quantum systems with strong Seebeck and
Peltier effects, and consider their use as heat engines and refrigerators with finite power …

Helicenes are inherently chiral polyaromatic molecules composed of all-ortho fused
benzene rings possessing a spring-like structure. Here, using a combination of density …
