In Silico Modeling of Indigo and Tyrian Purple Single-Electron Nano-Transistors Using Density Functional Theory Approach

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop and implement an in silico model of indigoid-based single-electron transistor (SET) nanodevices, which consist of indigoid molecules from natural dye weakly coupled to gold electrodes that function in a Coulomb blockade regime. The electronic properties of the indigoid molecules were investigated using the optimized density-functional theory (DFT) with a continuum model. Higher electron transport characteristics were determined for Tyrian purple, consistent with experim… Show more

“…The structures of reactants, intermediates and products were investigated under B3LYP/6-311G++(3df, 2pd) basis using density functional theory (DFT) [19] in the disproportionation reaction catalyzed by Cat.I or Cat.II. In order to ensure the calculation accuracy, the structures of transition states and the reaction pathways were identified through vibration analysis and calculated through intrinsic reaction curves (IRC) [20].…”

“…The most comprehensive TDDFT benchmark on indigo dyes is the work of Jacquemin et al [13], who calculated the maximum absorption wavelength of a total of 86 species in several solvents. An incomplete list of other TDDFT studies includes one on indigo in its neutral and dianionic forms [14], a comparative study of indigo and indirubin [15], a study on indigo dyes as sensitisers is solar cells [16], a paper on single-electron transistors [17] and one on excited state proton transfer in indigo [18]. Barone et al also studied indigoid spectra with the inclusion of vibronic effects in their model [19].…”

“…This supervision of the presence of the electronic level in the preference window is accomplished by the gate electrode. The composed electron burrowing of SET generates ultra-low-power leftovers, as a result of the carrier scattering and inadequacy of impact and bump; so the current intent is to attain Coulomb blockade regime (CBR) for SET [23].…”
