Abstract
We investigate the equilibrium conductance property of a simple resonant tunneling structure with a monatomic dopant in a two-probe system based on density functional theory and the nonequilib-rium Green function at zero bias. The system displays distinctive metallic transport behavior with nonmetal dopants, and the conductance reaches 1.34G0 from 0.17Go. This high conductance can be easily measured and has obvious advantages for tuning the transport properties of miniaturized molecular electronic applications. Analysis of the transmission eigenchannels, the distribution of transmission coefficients in the two-dimensional Brillouin zone, and the transmission eigenstates reveals the interesting aspects of this transport system.
