The presence of dipolar layers determines the functionality of most technologically relevant
interfaces. The present contribution reviews how periodic dipole assemblies modify the …

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 …

Some of the most intriguing properties of graphene are predicted for specifically designed
nanostructures such as nanoribbons. Functionalities far beyond those known from extended …

Employing a scanning tunneling microscopy based beak junction technique and
mechanically controlled break junction experiments, we investigated tolane …

We report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the length dependence
and anchor group dependence of the electrical conductance of a series of oligoyne …

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the electronic transport
through single-molecule junctions based on nitrile-terminated biphenyl derivatives. Using a …

The electronic conductance of a benzene molecule connected to gold electrodes via thiol,
thiolate, or amino anchoring groups is calculated using nonequilibrium Green functions in …

A full understanding of the elementary processes taking place in dye-sensitised solar cells
requires an accurate description of the electronic structure of the dyes, the semiconductor …

The manufacture of integrated circuits with single-molecule building blocks is a goal of
molecular electronics. While research in the past has been limited to bulk experiments on …

Molecular junctions are essentially modified electrodes familiar to electrochemists where the
electrolyte is replaced by a conducting “contact.” It is generally hypothesized that changing …
