Based on the matrix Green's function method combined with hybridtight-binding / density functional theory, we calculate the conductances of aseries of gold-dithiol molecule-gold junctions including benzenedithiol (BDT),benzenedimethanethiol (BDMT), hexanedithiol (HDT), octanedithiol (ODT) anddecanedithiol (DDT). An atomically-contacted extended molecule model is used inour calculation. As an important procedure, we determine the position of theFermi level by the energy reference according to the results from ultravioletphotoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) experiments. After considering theexperimental uncertainty in UPS measurement, the calculated results ofmolecular conductances near the Fermi level qualitatively agree with theexperimental values measured by Tao et. al.
