Effects of asymmetric contacts on single molecule conductances of HS(CH2)nCOOH in nano-electrical junctions

S. Martin, D. Manrique, V. M. Garcia-Suarez +4

A scanning tunnelling microscope has been used to determine the conductance of single molecular wires with the configuration X-bridge-X, X-bridge-Y and Y-bridge-Y (X = thiol termin…
