TL;DR: A statistical approach that combines comprehensive current-voltage data acquisition during the controlled manipulation of a molecular junction with subsequent statistical analysis is presented and the most probable transport characteristics can be determined.

TL;DR: The direct observation of basal-plane dislocations in freestanding bilayer graphene using transmission electron microscopy and their detailed investigation by diffraction contrast analysis and atomistic simulations reveal a pronounced buckling of the bilayers graphene membrane that results directly from accommodation of strain.

TL;DR: This work analyzes quantum interference and decoherence effects in single-molecule junctions both experimentally and theoretically by means of the mechanically controlled break junction technique and density-functional theory and highlights the universal relevance of vibrations for understanding charge transport through molecular junctions.

TL;DR: In this article, the transport properties of high-quality single-layer graphene, epitaxially grown on a 6H-SiC(0001) substrate, were investigated, in particular charge-carrier density, mobility, conductivity, and magnetoconductance.

TL;DR: In this paper, conductance spectra of two types of conjugated molecules are studied in a metal-molecule-metal junction established using the mechanically controlled break-junction technique.
