Magnetoresistance of nanoscale molecular devices based on Aharonov–Bohm interferometry

Abstract: Control of conductance in molecular junctions is of key importance in the growing field of molecular electronics. The current in these junctions is often controlled by an electric gate designed to shift conductance peaks into the low bias regime. Magnetic fields, on the other hand, have rarely been used due to the small magnetic flux captured by molecular conductors (an exception is the Kondo effect in single-molecule transistors). This is in contrast to a related field, electronic transport through mesoscopic… Show more

“…In such a small ring, unrealistically very high magnetic fields are required to produce a quantum flux. To overcome this situation, Hod et al have studied extensively and proposed how to construct nanometer scale devices, based on AharonovBohm interferometry, those can be operated in moderate magnetic fields [32,33,34,35].…”

“…In particular, its absence (presence) enables (disables) magnetic control of the electron transport direction. This kind of control has been proposed as an alternative to electric control [11]. In the case of molecules, the main handicap is that very strong magnetic fields are required to achieve significant flux piercing the small area of usual molecules, such as benzene.…”
