Creating functional electrical circuits using individual or ensemble molecules, often termed
as “molecular-scale electronics”, not only meets the increasing technical demands of the …

The use of single molecules in electronics represents the next limit of miniaturisation of
electronic devices, which would enable us to continue the trend of aggressive downscaling …

A mechanically controllable break junction (MCBJ) represents a fundamental technique for
the investigation of molecular electronic junctions, especially for the study of the electronic …

Constructing electronic circuits containing singly wired molecules is at the frontier of
electrical device miniaturisation. When a molecule is wired between a pair of electrodes, the …

A new and efficient approach using cleaving of trimethylsilyl groups to create covalent Au–C
anchoring sites has been developed for single-molecule junction conductance …

The understanding of the charge transport through single molecule junctions is a
prerequisite for the design and building of electronic circuits based on single molecule …

Besides active, functional molecular building blocks such as diodes or switches, passive
components, for example, molecular wires, are required to realize molecular-scale …

We derive and employ a semiclassical Langevin equation obtained from path integrals to
describe the ionic dynamics of a molecular junction in the presence of electrical current. The …

Molecular tunnel junctions are organic devices miniaturized to the molecular scale. They
serve as a versatile toolbox that can systematically examine charge transport behaviors at …

We investigate possible causes of molecular rectification in electrode–molecule–electrode
junctions. By using a simple model and simulated conductance histograms, we show that a …
