The idea of using individual molecules as active electronic components provided the
impetus to develop a variety of experimental platforms to probe their electronic transport …

Unimolecular electronics (UME) narrowly defined (sensu stricto), 1 or molecular-scale
electronics, 2 is the study of electrical processes measured or controlled on a molecular …

A challenge in molecular electronics is to control the strength of the molecule–electrode

Metal/organic interfaces critically determine the characteristics of molecular electronic
devices, because they influence the arrangement of the orbital levels that participate in …

Molecular one-dimensional topological insulators (1D TIs), which conduct through
energetically low-lying topological edge states, can be extremely highly conducting and …

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 …

The search for long molecular wires that can transport charge with maximum efficiency over
many nanometers has driven molecular electronics since its inception. Single-molecule …

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 …
