Journal ArticleDOI
Metal-molecule contacts and charge transport across monomolecular layers: measurement and theory.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that oligo(phenylene ethynylene), a conjugated organic molecule, acts like a molecular wire under symmetric contact conditions, but exhibits characteristics of a molecular diode when the connections are asymmetric.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conductance Scaling of Molecular Wires in Parallel
TL;DR: In this paper, a charge transport across a metal−molecule−metal junction consisting of π-conjugated molecular wires in a densely packed monolayer is studied as a function of junction area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electroclinic liquid crystals with large induced tilt angle and small layer contraction
TL;DR: Optical and x-ray scattering studies of a chiral, organosiloxane smectic-A liquid crystal indicate a large field induced optical tilt of up to 31 degrees accompanied by a very small contraction of thesmectic layers, suggesting that the molecules have a nonzero tilt even with no applied field.

TL;DR: The addition of small hydroxylated secondary dopants (SDs) can greatly decrease the surface resistance of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT-PSS) thin films with virtually no loss in film transparency as discussed by the authors.
