Structure and Ion Permeation of the Gramicidin Channel using Molecular Dynamics

Online Presentations | 12 Apr 2004 | Contributor(s): Toby Allen

Molecular dynamics (MD) has become an essential tool for obtaining microscopic insight into biological function. The gramicidin channel as an excellent benchmark system for this purpose. Using extensive MD simulations with explicit solvent and membrane, we determine the backbone structure and...

Contacting Molecules - Chemistry in Molecular Electronics

Online Presentations | 12 Apr 2004 | Contributor(s): Ilona Kretzschmar

The study of the basic electron transport mechanism through molecular systems has been made accessible by fabrication techniques that create metallic contacts to a small number of organic molecules. In my talk, I will discuss some of the groundbreaking discoveries such as the measurement of the...

Electronic Transport Through Self-Assembled Monolayers

Online Presentations | 25 Feb 2004 | Contributor(s): Takhee Lee

Characterization of charge transport in molecular scale electronic devices has to date shown exquisite sensitivity to specifics of device fabrication and preparation. Thus, intrinsic molecular band structure has been problematic to extract from published results. Here we demonstrate...

Macromolecular Simulation: A Computational Perspective

Online Presentations | 16 Feb 2004 | Contributor(s): Robert D. Skeel

The study of cold atomic gases is exploding, driven largely by the rapid experimental developments. This field has become highly interdisciplinary, connecting a great variety of interesting problems: weakly and strongly correlated quantum condensed matters, nuclear matters, and physics of low...

Molecular Electronics Pathway for Molecular Memory Devices

Online Presentations | 06 Feb 2004 | Contributor(s): Ranganathan Shashidhar

We have been developing a scale molecular electronic device using a 30 nm sized plant virus particle as the scaffold. This talk describes the bioengineering aspects of how the virus particle is converted to a molecular electronic circuit and its electrical characterization. The talk describes...

Quantum Electromechanical Systems: Are we there yet?

Online Presentations | 05 Feb 2004 | Contributor(s): Andrew Cleland

Electrons moving in a conductor can transfer momentum to the lattice via collisions with impurities and boundaries, giving rise to a fluctuating mechanical stress tensor. Driving electrons out of equilibrium by applying the voltage across the conductor, one may control this electromechanical noise.

Towards a Terahertz Solid State Bloch Oscillator

Online Presentations | 29 Jan 2004 | Contributor(s): S. James Allen

The concepts of Bloch oscillation and Zener breakdown are fundamental to electron motion in periodic potentials and were described in the earliest theoretical developments of electron transport in solids. But only in the past 10 years have experiments clearly demonstrated various aspects of Bloch...
