To evince pure C24 as superconductoring mechanically controllable break junction configuration

摘要

In this paper, we expounded the superconductive nature for fullerenes, which are being explored for the molecular electronics applications. The fullerene we picked for our research work is the C24 which was then doped with popular dopants- Boron, Nitrogen and Phosphorus and the self-consistent calculations were performed in the configuration where molecule was bridged between the gold electrodes using MCBJ (Mechanically Controlled Break Junctions) technique at sub-zero temperature of 0.100K. The characteristics of these variants of doped C24were compared with that for pure C24 and the results clearly demonstrated the electrical superiority of the pure C24 over its doped counterparts for cryogenic applications of electronics. This paper would represent another mark in the field of molecular electronics that prefer carbon or organic materials as competing future in nanotechnology for military and defence applications.
