This review focuses on molecular ensemble junctions in which the individual molecules of a
monolayer each span two electrodes. This geometry favors quantum mechanical tunneling …

The focus of nanoscience and nanotechnology is gradually shifting from the synthesis of
individual components to their assembly into larger systems and nanostructured materials …

The formation of the Schottky barrier height (SBH) is a complex problem because of the
dependence of the SBH on the atomic structure of the metal-semiconductor (MS) interface …

Molecules of benzene-1, 4-dithiol were self-assembled onto the two facing gold electrodes
of a mechanically controllable break junction to form a statically stable gold-sulfur-aryl-sulfur …

The semiconductor industry has seen a remarkable miniaturization trend, driven by many
scientific and technological innovations. But if this trend is to continue, and provide ever …

Gold nanocrystals passivated by self‐assembled monolayers of straightchain alkylhiolate
molecules have been obtained as highly purified molecular materials of high intrinsic …

This is the report of a DOE-sponsored workshop organized to discuss the status of our
understanding of charge-transfer processes on the nanoscale and to identify research and …

Considerable attention has been drawn during the last two decades to functionalize noble
metal surfaces by forming ordered organic films of few nm to several hundred-nm thickness …

A reliable method has been developed for making through-bond electrical contacts to
molecules. Current-voltage curves are quantized as integer multiples of one fundamental …

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 …
