  • Abstract
    We present a combined experimental-theoretical demonstration of electrical transport through a single diatomic donor molecule in the channel of a silicon nanotransistor. We demonstrate a simultaneous enhancement of the binding and charging energies with respect to the single donor case. Such enhancement suggests a novel physical mechanism to increase the operation temperature of conventional single-atom transistors and improve their robustness against interfacial electric fields.
