| Abstract | Recent experiments have shown that the current-voltage characteristics (I-V) of BPDN-DT (bipyridyl-dinitro oligophenylene-ethynylene dithiol) can be switched in a very controlled manner between 'on' and 'off' traces by applying a pulse in a bias voltage, V(bias). Here, the polaron formation energies are calculated to check a frequently held belief, namely, that the polaron formation can explain the observed bistability. These results are not consistent with such a mechanism. Instead, a conformational reorientation is proposed. The molecule carries an intrinsic dipole moment, which couples to V(bias). Ramping V(bias) exerts a force on the dipole that can reorient ('rotate') the molecule from the ground state ('off') into a metastable configuration ('on') and back. By elaborated electronic structure calculations, a specific path for this rotation is identified through the molecule's conformational phase space. It is shown that this path has sufficiently high barriers to inhibit thermal instability but that the molecule can still be switched in the voltage range of the junction stability. The theoretical I-Vs qualitatively reproduce the key experimental observations. A proposal for the experimental verification of the alternative mechanism of conductance switching is presented. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
