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 …

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

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

Single-molecule junctions—devices in which a single molecule is electrically connected by
two electrodes—enable the study of a broad range of quantum-transport phenomena even …

Carbon nanotubes are a versatile material in which many aspects of condensed matter
physics come together. Recent discoveries have uncovered new phenomena that …

A revolution in electronics is in view, with the contemporary evolution of the two novel
disciplines of spintronics and molecular electronics. A fundamental link between these two …

Electrons have a charge and a spin, but until recently these were considered separately. In
classical electronics, charges are moved by electric fields to transmit information and are …

The electronic reconstruction at the interface between two insulating oxides can give rise to
a highly conductive interface,. Here we show how, in analogy to this remarkable interface …

Building an electronic device using individual molecules is one of the ultimate goals in
nanotechnology. To achieve this it will be necessary to measure, control and understand …

Using nonequilibrium Green's functions we calculate the spin-polarized current and shot
noise in a ferromagnet-quantum-dot-ferromagnet system. Both parallel (P) and antiparallel …
