Structure of a molecular device in our simulations (only the carbon chain capped with the five pyramid Au atoms). Five atoms on each side represent Au atom, the middle atoms refer to C atoms. The upper panel corresponds to odd carbon atomic chains and the lower panel corresponds to even carbon atomic chains.
