In the case of molecular nanowires, a structure model for a chain composed of multiple molecules, in stead of a single molecule has been proposed to discuss some experimental reports of transport properties of dense self-assembled monolayers of a gold break junction; E. G. Emberly and G. Kirczenow, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.64.235412 64, 235412 (2001). Our simple model is general enough to embrace the structure model, if we regard the molecular entity as a single "atomic site."
