This review focuses on molecular ensemble junctions in which the individual molecules of a
monolayer each span two electrodes. This geometry favors quantum mechanical tunneling …

Molecular electronic devices with tunable conductance states show great potential in
building memories and logic components for next-generation circuits. In recent years …

Organic semiconductor materials are not recognized as a system for high current density
applications due to the generally low mobility and high contact resistance. In this work …

This paper demonstrates that the molecular conformation (in addition to the composition and
structure) of molecules making up self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) influences the rates …

Droplets capture an environment-dictated equilibrium state of a liquid material. Equilibrium,
however, often necessitates nanoscale interface organization, especially with formation of a …

Elucidating the influence of the monolayer interface versus bulk on the macroscopic
properties (eg, surface hydrophobicity, charge transport, and electron transfer) of organic …

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 …

This paper describes the photoinduced switching of conductance in tunneling junctions
comprising self-assembled monolayers of a spiropyran moiety using eutectic Ga–In top …

Conspectus This Account describes a body of research in atomic level design, synthesis,
physicochemical characterization, and macroscopic electrical testing of molecular devices …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used in surface modifications, specifically in
tuning the surface chemistry of materials. The structure and properties of SAMs have been …
