Transmission of vibronic signals in molecular circuits. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • It is proposed and demonstrated using molecular dynamics and digital signal processing techniques that molecular vibrations can be used to transport signals in molecular circuits, revealing that signals transmitted along polypeptide molecules by a frequency-modulated carrier in the terahertz domain consume only 0.2 eV to successfully transfer one information bit; this energy is several orders of magnitude smaller than the several thousands of electronvolts needed using electrons in present electronic devices.
