Molecular electronics

The molecular electronics group at IMDEA Nanociencia studies a wide variety of molecules for use in future molecule-based electronic devices. Our goal is to develop a deep understanding of electron transport at the nanoscale through individual molecules wired between a pair of electrodes. In particular, we are interested in the following areas: high-conductance molecular junctions; highly-conjugated molecular wires; thermopower at the molecular level; the role of aromaticity and antiaromaticity on electron transport; molecular spintronics; developing molecular switches; molecules under high bias voltages; chiral molecular junctions.
