| 520 | |a Analytical equations like Richardson-Dushman's or Shockley's provided a general, if simplified conceptual background, which was widely accepted in conventional electronics and made a fundamental contribution to advances in the field. In the attempt to develop a (highly desirable, but so far missing) counterpart for molecular electronics, in this work, we deduce a general analytical formula for the tunneling current through molecular junctions mediated by a single level that is valid for any bias voltage and temperature. Starting from this expression, which is exact and obviates cumbersome numerical integration, in the low and high temperature limits we also provide analytical formulas expressing the current in terms of elementary functions. They are accurate for broad model parameter ranges relevant for real molecular junctions. Within this theoretical framework we show that: (i) by varying the temperature, the tunneling current can vary by several orders of magnitude, thus debunking the myth that a strong temperature dependence of the current is evidence for a hopping mechanism, (ii) real molecular junctions can undergo a gradual (Sommerfeld-Arrhenius) transition from a weakly temperature dependent to a strongly (“exponential”) temperature dependent current that can be tuned by the applied bias, and (iii) important insight into large area molecular junctions with eutectic gallium indium alloy (EGaIn) top electrodes can be gained. E.g., merely based on transport data, we estimate that the current carrying molecules represent only a fraction of f ≈ 4 × 10−4 out of the total number of molecules in a large area Au-S-(CH2)13-CH3/EGaIn junction. | ||
