Abstract

Our first-principles calculations demonstrate that C60-nBn/C60-mNm molecules could be engineered acceptor/donor pair needed for molecular electronics by properly controlling the number n and m of the substitutional dopants in C60. As an example, we propose that acceptor C48 B12 and donor C48 N12 can be promising components for molecular rectifiers, nanotube-based p-type, n-type and n-p-n transistors and p-n junctions.
