Abstract :
We discuss recent progress in our theoretical understanding of molecular electronics on three fronts: (a) at a formal level involving quantum transport in presence of strong correlation effects; (b) at a computational level for modeling heterogeneous integrated systems such as molecules on silicon, and (c) at a device level by exploring novel concepts such as conformational transistors and surface modulated transistors.
