Abstract

The authors study the electronic response of two simple molecular devices to a bichromatic field, where the device acts as a mixer. Two closely related model systems are considered: one is a benzene molecule and the other is a single grapheme sheet, and in both cases the systems are connected to three polyacetylene chains. The electronic response to the dichromatic alternating electric fields is studied by following the electron density fluctuation along the chain lengths. In both cases the electron transfer follows the field frequency at low electric fields. At higher amplitude, a significant amount of nonlinear mixing resulting in new combinations of the input frequencies is found in the spectrum. The influence of gating on the output frequencies is also shown.
