摘要: We study the current through molecular films as a function of orientation molecules in film with respect to electrodes. It may change by more than an order magnitude, depending on angle between axis and normal electrode. This is consequence strong directional character p orbitals that determine conductance conjugated molecules. demonstrate this result exactly solvable model, present calculations for two different experimentally accessible sandwiched gold
