abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">Based on first-principles calculations, the electrode force acted on 2,5-dimercapto-pyridazin molecular device is studied. The pressing effects of $CO$ and $H_2O$ molecules on the 2,5-dimercapto-pyridazin molecular junctions are also studied at
B3LYP level to simulate the effects of little ambient molecules on the functional molecular
junctions. The electronic transport properties of 2,5-dimercapto-pyridazin molecular
junction with the pressing of $CO$ and $H_2O$ molecules are studied by employing
elastic scattering Green&#39;s function method. The numerical results show that the 2,5-dimercapto-pyridazin can be squeezed out of the electrode gap when the electrode
distance is compressed to 1.02 nm. It needs about 1.5 nN stretching force to break
down the 2,5-dimercapto-pyridazin molecular junction, which agrees with the experiment
probes very well. The 2,5-dimercapto-pyridazin molecule is bent by the pressing
of $CO$ or $H_2O$ molecule, and is pushed to the edge of Au (111) triangles with the terminal
S atoms first to the bridge and then to the top positions of Au (111) triangles,
until at last one terminal S atom is pushed out of Au (111) triangle. The pressing
of $CO$ and $H_2O$ molecules to the molecular junctions will enhance the couplings between
molecule and electrodes, which further enhances nonresonant transmission of
the molecular junctions.</p>},
