The molecular signature of highly conductive metal-molecule-metal junctions
O. Tal, M. Kiguchi, W. H. A. Thijssen +4
The simplicity of single-molecule junctions based on direct bonding of a small molecule between two metallic electrodes make them an ideal system for the study of fundamental quest…
Highly conductive molecular junctions based on direct binding of benzene to platinum electrodes
M. Kiguchi, O. Tal, S. Wohlthat +5
Highly conductive molecular junctions were formed by direct binding of benzene molecules between two Pt electrodes. Measurements of conductance, isotopic shift in inelastic spectro…
Evidence for a single hydrogen molecule connected by an atomic chain
M. Kiguchi, R. Stadler, I. S. Kristensen +2
Stable, single-molecule conducting-bridge configurations are typically identified from peak structures in a conductance histogram. In previous work on Pt with H at cryogenic te…
Effect of bonding of a CO molecule on the conductance of atomic metal wires
M. Kiguchi, D. Djukic, J. M. van Ruitenbeek
We have measured the effect of bonding of a CO molecule on the conductance of Au, Cu, Pt, and Ni atomic contacts at 4.2 K. When CO gas is admitted to the metal nano contacts, a con…
Vibrationally Induced Two-Level Systems in Single-Molecule Junctions
W. H. A. Thijssen, D. Djukic, A. F. Otte +2
Single-molecule junctions are found to show anomalous spikes in dI/dV spectra. The position in energy of the spikes are related to local vibration mode energies. A model of vibrati…
Stretching dependence of the vibration modes of a single-molecule Pt-H2-Pt bridge
D. Djukic, K. S. Thygesen, C. Untiedt +3
A conducting bridge of a single hydrogen molecule between Pt electrodes is formed in a break junction experiment. It has a conductance near the quantum unit, G_0 = 2e^2/h, carried…
