Abstract

The electronic behavior of organic molecules, which could be considered as basic blocks of graphene nanoribbons, has been studied using Density Functional Theory and Non-Equilibrium Green Functions approaches. We have focused on the role that plays the molecule-metal contact, for this reason different configurations in the number and position of the contacts have been considered. We have noticed that the direct electron transport through the molecule is bigger than the diagonal one and the elimination of the -cloud in the central benzene of the anthracene molecule involves important changes in the behavior of the whole device.
