Transition Voltage Spectroscopy and the Nature of Vacuum Tunneling
M. L. Trouwborst, C. A. Martin, R. H. M. Smit +4
Transition Voltage Spectroscopy (TVS) has been proposed as a tool to analyze charge transport through molecular junctions. We extend TVS to Au-vacuum-Au junctions and study the dis…
Bistable hysteresis and resistance switching in hydrogen gold junctions
M. L. Trouwborst, E. H. Huisman, S. J. van der Molen +1
Current-voltage characteristics of H2-Au molecular junctions exhibit intriguing steps around a characteristic voltage of 40 mV. Surprisingly, we find that a hysteresis is connected…
Stabilizing single atom contacts by molecular bridge formation
Everardus H. Huisman, Marius L. Trouwborst, Frank L. Bakker +3
Gold-molecule-gold junctions can be formed by carefully breaking a gold wire in a solution containing dithiolated molecules. Surprisingly, there is little understanding on the mech…
Single atom adhesion in optimized gold nanojunctions
M. L. Trouwborst, E. H. Huisman, F. L. Bakker +2
We study the interaction between single apex atoms in a metallic contact, using the break junction geometry. By carefully 'training' our samples, we create stable junctions in whic…
