The electronic transport properties of molecular devices constructed by conjugated molecular wire tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) have been studied by applying nonequilibrium Green’s functions in combination with the density-functional theory. Two molecular junctions with different wire lengths have been considered. The results show that the current–voltage curves of TTF devices can be modulated by the length of the molecular wire and negative differential resistance behaviors are observed in these systems. The mechanisms have been proposed for the length effect and negative differential resistance behavior.
