Abstract :
We have studied the electronic transport properties of an optical molecular switch based on the diarylethene molecule with two single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) electrodes using first-principles transport calculations. It is shown that the closed form shows an overall higher conductance than the open form at low bias which is independent of the SWCNTs’ chirality. Meanwhile, the conductance of the molecular switch can be tuned by changing the chirality of the SWCNTs.
