Abstract

Interference effects strongly affect the transport characteristics of a benzene single-electron transistor, and for this reason we call it interference single-electron transistor (I-SET). We focus on the effects of degeneracies between many-body states of the isolated benzene. We show that the particular current blocking and selective conductance suppression occurring in the benzene I-SET are due ...
