Journal ArticleDOI

Contact Chemistry and Single-Molecule Conductance : A Comparison of Phosphines, Methyl Sulfides, and Amines

TL;DR: It is found that junctions formed with dimethyl phosphine terminated alkanes have the highest conductance and this allows a detailed analysis of the single-molecule junction elongation properties which correlate well with calculations based on density functional theory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electronics and Chemistry: Varying Single-Molecule Junction Conductance Using Chemical Substituents

TL;DR: The results reveal that the occupied states are closest to the gold Fermi energy, indicating that the tunneling transport through these molecules is analogous to hole tunneling through an insulating film.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reversible Switching in Molecular Electronic Devices

TL;DR: The change in conductance when molecules wired between the ends of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes are switched between different states of conjugation is compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation and evolution of single-molecule junctions.

TL;DR: Analysis of formation and evolution statistics of single-molecule junctions bonded to gold electrodes using amine, methyl sulfide, and dimethyl phosphine link groups shows sequences of atomic-scale changes in junction structure that account for the long conductance plateau lengths observed.
