Influence of Electronic Properties of Graphene on Current-Voltage Characteristics of Molecule-Graphene Nanojunctions — •Ivan A. Pshenichnyuk, Pedro B. Coto, André Erpenbeck, and Michael Thoss — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Staudtstr. 7/B2, D-91058 Erlangen, Germany

Graphene, thanks to its peculiar mechanical and electronic properties, is today considered as a perspective material in future electronics. Its well-known band structure with "zero band-gap" as well as the existence of so-called edge states leads to a non-trivial density of states distribution in graphene-based devices. This causes, in particular, distinctive current-voltage characteristics of molecule-graphene nanojunctions, where a single molecule is connected to two graphene nanosized contacts. We study the transport characteristics of graphene-based nanojunctions using tight-binding models and first-principles DFT calculations combined with the Landauer transport formalism.
