Studying the Electrical Properties of Single Molecules by Break Junction Techniques
Original language description
Molecular electronics aims at use of molecules as the working components (wires, diodes, transistors, and logic and memorynelements) of the future electronic devices. It represents an alternative to the solid-state semiconductor technologies, which willnsoon reach their miniaturization limits. Naturally, studies of electrical properties of molecules at the single molecule level representnthe cornerstone in the development of molecular electronic devices. The invention of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) bynGerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer (Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986) and of the atomic force microscope (AFM) by Gerd Binnig,nCalvin Quate, and Christoph Gerber enabled to overcome the experimental barrier for direct visualization of individual moleculesnand promoted the evaluation of their properties at the single molecule level.nMolecular electronic components typically consist of a backbone capped by two termini-anchors to provide contact withntwo electrodes. Examples of anchoring groups include thiol, pyridine, nitrile, amine, or fullerene. Passive componentsn(molecular wires and resistors) possess no functionality in the backbone. Active ones, such as molecular diodes ornswitches, contain additional moiety that provides desired functionality. Current rectification in molecular diodes may benfor example attained by an asymmetric arrangement of side groups with a different inductive effect. Molecular switchesncontain a moiety with two chemically stable states. These states are switched by an external trigger such as illuminationn(photoswitches), local environment (pH and ligand-driven switches), pressure (mechanical switches), or electrode potentialn(redox switches).
