Single Molecule Nanoelectrochemistry in Electrical Junctions [PDF]
Accounts of Chemical Research, 2016 It is now possible to reliably measure single molecule conductance in a wide variety of environments including organic liquids, ultrahigh vacuum, water, ionic liquids, and electrolytes. The most commonly used methods deploy scanning probe microscopes, mechanically formed break junctions, or lithographically formed nanogap contacts.
