Quantum Transport at Molecular Scales — •Ferdinand Evers — Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany

The quantum transport on molecular scales is a wide and very complex research area. It connects to phenomena in experimental disciplines as diverse as the surface sciences, organic electronics, spintronics, catalysis, electrochemistry, strongly correlated systems and even the life sciences. An important motivation in the sub-discipline Molecular Electronics is to single out a single molecule and use it to investigate in detail aspects of the elementary charge transfer processes involved.

The first part of the presentation offers an overview about recent experimental and theoretical developments and new directions in Molecular Electronics. The second part will embark on effects of molecular magnetism. It will deal with the Kondo-effect in molecular adsorbates and explains, how a non-magnetic molecule (hydrogen-phtalocyanine) brings about a giant magnetoresistance.
