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 …

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) is an emerging anchor moiety for surface engineering and
various applications. While various deposition conditions have been reported, how these …

We share our perspective that a simple analytical model for electron tunneling in molecular
junctions can greatly aid quantitative analysis of experimental data in molecular electronics …

Understanding how the Seebeck effect of organic thermoelectric devices is associated with
the chemical structure of active molecules within the devices is a key goal in organic and …

For sufficiently low biases, Ohm's law, the cornerstone of electricity, stating that current I and
voltage V are proportional, is satisfied at low biases for all known systems ranging from …

Routinely, experiments on tunneling molecular junctions report values of conductances
(GRT) and currents (IRT) measured at room temperature. On the other hand, theoretical …

In this paper, we report results on the electronic structure and transport properties of
molecular junctions fabricated via conducting probe atomic force microscopy (CP-AFM) …

Metal-molecule-metal junctions based on alkane thiol (CnT) and oligophenylene thiol
(OPTn) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and Au electrodes are expected to exhibit …

Every now and then one hears in the molecular electronics community that asymmetric
couplings (Γ s≠ Γ t) of the dominant level (molecular orbital) to electrodes (s and t) which …

A number of factors contribute to orbital energy alignment with respect to the Fermi level in
molecular tunnel junctions. Here, we report a combined experimental and theoretical effort …
