Thiolate-protected gold surfaces and interfaces, relevant for self-assembled monolayers of
organic molecules on gold, for passivated gold nanoclusters and for molecule–gold …

Quantum tunneling between two plasmonic resonators links non-linear quantum optics with
terahertz nanoelectronics. Direct observation of and control over quantum plasmon …

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

More than a decade after the first report of single-molecule conductance, it remains a
challenging goal to prove the exact nature of the transport through single molecules …

Research in molecular electronics often involves the demonstration of devices that are
analogous to conventional semiconductor devices, such as transistors and diodes, but it is …

Quantum effects in plasmonic systems play an important role in defining the optical
response of structures with subnanometer gaps. Electron tunneling across the gaps can …

Transport properties of molecular junctions are notoriously expensive to calculate with ab
initio methods, primarily due to the semi-infinite electrodes. This has led to the introduction of …

Gold–dithiol molecular junctions have been studied both experimentally and theoretically.
However, the nature of the gold–thiolate bond as it relates to the solvent has seldom been …

A combined experimental and theoretical analysis of the charge transport through single-
molecule junctions is performed to define the influence of molecular end groups for …

We report measurements of the shot noise on single-molecule Au–1, 4-benzenedithiol–Au
junctions, fabricated with the mechanically controllable break junction (MCBJ) technique at …
