Theoretical and numerical modelling of electronic transport in nanostructures

The aim of this thesis in the nanoelectronics domain is to present a contribution to the analysis of the quantum electronic transport phenomena in nanostructures. For this purpose, we specifically develop the phase field matching theory (PFMT). Within this algebraic approach the electronic properties of the system are described by the tight-binding formalism, whereas the analysis of the transport properties based on the phase matching of the electronic states of the leads to the states of the molecular nanojunctions. By comparing some of our results with those of the first principles methods, we have shown the correctness and fonctionality of our approach. Moreover, our method can be considered as a practical and general alternative to the Green’s function-based techniques, and is applied in this work to model the electronic transport across mono and diatomic nanojunctions, consisting of mono and multivalent Na, Cu, Co, C, Si, Ga and As elements.
