dc.descriptionWe investigate multi-terminal quantum transport through single monocyclic aromatic annulene molecules, and their derivatives, using the nonequilibrium Green function approach in the self-consistent Hartree-Fock approximation. A new device concept, the Quantum Interference Effect Transistor (QuIET) is proposed, exploiting perfect destructive interference stemming from molecular symmetry, and controlling current flow by introducing decoherence and/or elastic scattering that break the symmetry. This approach overcomes the fundamental problems of power dissipation and environmental sensitivity that beset many nanoscale device proposals.
