Electronic transport properties of single-molecule junctions have been widely measured by
several techniques, including mechanically controllable break junctions, electromigration …

This tutorial outlines the basic theoretical concepts and tools which underpin the
fundamentals of phase-coherent electron transport through single molecules. The key …

As the dimensions of a conductor approach the nanoscale, quantum effects begin to
dominate, and it becomes possible to control the conductance through direct manipulation of …

Employing a scanning tunneling microscopy based beak junction technique and
mechanically controlled break junction experiments, we investigated tolane …

The charge transport characteristics of 11 tailor-made dithiol-terminated oligo (phenylene-
ethynylene)(OPE)-type molecules attached to two gold electrodes were studied at a …

Quantum interference (QI) of electron pathways has recently attracted increased interest as
an enabling tool for single-molecule electronic devices. Although various molecular systems …

To guide the choice of future synthetic targets for single‐molecule electronics, qualitative
design rules are needed, which describe the effect of modifying chemical structure. Here the …

Extensive evidence has shown that long-range charge transport can occur along double
helical DNA, but active control (switching) of single-DNA conductance with an external field …

This paper compares the current density (J) versus applied bias (V) of self-assembled
monolayers (SAMs) of three different ethynylthiophenol-functionalized anthracene …

Abstract π-Conjugation plays an important role in charge transport through single molecular
junctions. We describe in this paper the construction of a mechanically controlled break …
