Abstract

A row of parallel ordered and coupled molecular nanoshafts is shown to develop a shuttling transport of charges at finite temperature. The appearance of a current without applying an external bias voltage is reported as well as a natural diode effect allowing unidirectional charge transport along one field direction while blocking the opposite direction. The zero-bias voltage current appears above a threshold of initial thermal and/or dislocation energy.
