Resonance tunneling in molecular layer systems

Resonance tunnelling of electrons through a system of organic monolayers is investigated. Calculations of the transmission probabilities and I- U characteristics for the double potential barriers expected for an arrangement of metal-fatty acid-dye-fatty acid-metal layers are presented.

Summary:Resonance tunnelling of electrons through a system of organic monolayers is investigated. Calculations of the transmission probabilities and I- U characteristics for the double potential barriers expected for an arrangement of metal-fatty acid-dye-fatty acid-metal layers are presented. Particular reference is made to the influence of the so-called “symmetry resonance” on the I- U characteristic.
