Surface effects can adversely influence the performance of a nanoelectronic device,but may also lead to new functionality. The focus of this thesis is to theoreticallystudy the role of surfaces in nanoelectronics. Our theoretical analysis is from atomicfirst principles achieved by combining density functional theory with the Keldyshnonequilibrium Green's function approach. This technique allows for all atoms in asystem to be treated on an equal footing without any phenomenological parameters.The first part of the thesis considers conduction through a molecule with no substrateto illustrate the sort of system typically modeled in transport calculations. Two Auelectrodes are bridged by a substituted benzenediamine molecule (R = CH3, NH2,OH) w...
