Ab initio study of transport properties of an all-carbon molecular switch based on C20 molecule

Abstract

Choosing closed-ended armchair (5, 5) single-wall carbon nanotubes (CCNTs) as electrodes, we have investigated the electron transport properties across a carbon molecular junction consisting of a C₂₀ molecule sandwiched
