  bibo_abstract:
  - Electron transport across a molecular junction is characterized by an energy-dependent
    transmission function. The transmission function accounts for electrons tunneling
    through multiple molecular orbitals (MOs) with different phases, which gives rise
    to quantum interference (QI) effects. Because the transmission function comprises
    both interfering and noninterfering effects, individual interferences between
    MOs cannot be deduced from the transmission function directly. Herein, we demonstrate
    how the transmission function can be deconstructed into its constituent interfering
    and noninterfering contributions for any model molecular junction. These contributions
    are arranged in a matrix and displayed pictorially as a QI map, which allows one
    to easily identify individual QI effects. Importantly, we show that exponential
    conductance decay with increasing oligomer length is primarily due to an increase
    in destructive QI. With an ability to “see” QI effects using the QI map, we find
    that QI is vital to all molecular-scale electron transport.@eng
