Conductance of a phenylene-vinylene molecular wire: Contact gap and tilt angle dependence

Charge transport through a molecular junction comprising an oligomer of p-phenylene-vinylene between gold contacts has been investigated using density-functional theory and the nonequilibrium Green's function method. The influence of the contact gap geometry on the transport has been studied fo...
