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 …

Over the past two decades, various techniques for fabricating nano-gapped electrodes have
emerged, promoting rapid development in the field of single-molecule electronics, on both …

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

Self-assembly is possibly the most effective and versatile strategy for surface
functionalization. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can be formed on (semi-) conductor …

Electronic transport properties of single-molecule junctions have been widely measured by
several techniques, including mechanically controllable break junctions, electromigration …

Single-molecule topological insulators are promising candidates as conducting wires over
nanometre length scales. A key advantage is their ability to exhibit quasi-metallic transport …

Multifunctional living materials are attractive due to their powerful ability to self-repair and
replicate. However, most natural materials lack electronic functionality. Here we show that …

We review charge transport across molecular monolayers, which is central to molecular
electronics (MolEl), using large-area junctions (NmJ). We strive to provide a wide conceptual …

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 …

Understanding how molecules interact to form large-scale hierarchical structures on
surfaces holds promise for building designer nanoscale constructs with defined chemical …
