Impact of the terminal end-group on the electrical conductance in alkane linear chains
Abdullah Alshehab, Ali Ismael
Abstract
This research presents comprehensive theoretical investigations of a series of alkane-based chains using four different terminal end groups including amine –NH 2 , thiomethyl –SMe, thiol –SH and direct carbon contact –C.
