The use of molecules bridged between two electrodes as a stable rectifier is an important
goal in molecular electronics. Until recently, however, and despite extensive experimental …

Coherence refers to correlations in waves. Because matter has a wave-particle nature, it is
unsurprising that coherence has deep connections with the most contemporary issues in …

Until recently, single-molecule conduction experiments have mostly been described in terms
of a nonresonant tunneling process where the molecule acts as a tunneling barrier.[1–3] In …

Molecular electronics seeks to incorporate molecular components as functional elements in
electronic devices. There are numerous strategies reported to date for the fabrication …

Theory and experiment examining electron transfer through molecules bound to electrodes
are increasingly focused on quantities that are conceptually far removed from current …

This paper compares the current density (J) versus applied bias (V) of self-assembled
monolayers (SAMs) of three different ethynylthiophenol-functionalized anthracene …

We calculate that significant quantum interference effects can be observed in elastic electron
transport through acyclic molecules. Interference features are evident in the transmission …

We show unambiguous and compelling evidence by means of pump–probe experiments,
which are complemented by calculations using ab initio multireference perturbation theory …

The promise of molecular electronic devices stems from the possibilities offered by the rich
electronic structure of organic molecules. The use of molecules as functional components in …

Photoinitiated charge separation (CS) and recombination (CR) in a series of donor− bridge−
acceptor (D− B− A) molecules with cross-conjugated, linearly conjugated, and saturated …
