Abstract :
In this research paper, we scrutinised the impact of variations in the bondlength of a Cadmium sulphide nanowire on the electron transport properties. We contemplated that if the bond length of the nanowirewas either elongatedor shortened, there was a definite impact on the electrical transport characteristics. The effect of changing bond length was observed on the values of current and conductance of the nanowire and the relative stress induced on the system under consideration. We elucidated that the bond length plays an important role in Nano meter-scale electron transport characteristics through nanowire stringed to macroscopic gold electrodes. The observed results from our findings have been plotted in terms of percentage variations in conductance as well as current for the changes brought towards elongation or shortening of the nanowire. The vital information collected through this simulation work can be significantly beneficial in molecular electronics especially as potential candidates for sensor, solar cells and bio-medical applications.
