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

Understanding charge transport of single molecules or a small collection of molecules
sandwiched between electrodes is of fundamental importance for molecular electronics …

Understanding chemical bonding and conductivity at the electrode–molecule interface is key
for the operation of single-molecule junctions. Here we apply the d-band theory that …

Most studies in molecular electronics focus on altering the molecular wire backbone to tune
the electrical properties of the whole junction. However, it is often overlooked that the …

Single-molecule detection can reveal time trajectories and reaction pathways of individual
intermediates/transition states in chemical reactions and biological processes, which is of …

Using a representative model system, here electronic and structural properties of aromatic
self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) are described that contain an embedded, dipolar group …

Selenolate is considered as an alternative to thiolate to serve as a headgroup mediating the
formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on coinage metal substrates. There are …

Continuous wave (CW) pump–probe surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is
used to examine a range of plasmon-driven chemical behavior in the molecular SERS …

At the interfaces of metal and dielectric materials, strong light–matter interactions excite
surface plasmons; this allows electromagnetic field confinement and enhancement on the …
