Conductance of Small Molecular Junctions
Physical Review Letters, 2002A new method of fabricating small metal-molecule-metal junctions is developed, approaching the single-molecule limit. The conductance of different conjugated molecules in a broad temperature, source-drain, and gate voltage regime is reported. At low temperature, all investigated molecules display sharp conductance steps periodic in source-drain voltage.

Heat rectification in molecular junctions
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2005Heat conduction through molecular chains connecting two reservoirs at different temperatures can be asymmetric for forward and reversed temperature biases. Based on analytically solvable models and on numerical simulations we show that molecules rectify heat when two conditions are satisfied simultaneously: the interactions governing the heat ...

Small, 2006
AbstractThe simplest component of molecular electronics consists of a single‐molecule transport junction: a molecule sandwiched between source and drain electrodes, with or without a third gate electrode. In this Concept article, we focus on how molecules control transport in metal‐electrode molecular junctions, and where the molecular signatures are ...

Seebeck effect in molecular junctions
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2016Advances in the fabrication and characterization of nanoscale systems presently allow for a better understanding of their thermoelectric properties. As is known, the building blocks of thermoelectricity are the Peltier and Seebeck effects. In the present work we review results of theoretical studies of the Seebeck effect in single-molecule junctions ...

Electron transport in molecular junctions
Nature Nanotechnology, 2006Building an electronic device using individual molecules is one of the ultimate goals in nanotechnology. To achieve this it will be necessary to measure, control and understand electron transport through molecules attached to electrodes. Substantial progress has been made over the past decade and we present here an overview of some of the recent ...

Molecular architecture of adherens junctions
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2001Adherens junctions are composed of a cadherin-catenin complex and its associated proteins. Recently, an increasing number of novel members of adherens junctions, including membrane and PDZ proteins, have been reported. Interactions among these components in adherens junctions seem to be dynamically regulated during the formation of adherens junction ...

Molecular junctions based on aromatic coupling
Nature Nanotechnology, 2008If individual molecules are to be used as building blocks for electronic devices, it will be essential to understand charge transport at the level of single molecules. Most existing experiments rely on the synthesis of functional rod-like molecules with chemical linker groups at both ends to provide strong, covalent anchoring to the source and drain ...
