In atomic-scale transistors, this current is extremely sensitive to single electrons ... tip very close to the molecule and apply a bias voltage to the tip-sample junction, single electrons ...

The single-molecule transistor promises to be a singularly ... nature makes that molecule-sized junction for you." Like blowing a tiny fuse, they ran current through a gold wire at a level that ...

Transistors have been made from single molecules ... each with a different molecule in the junction — either an alkane dithiol (which contains two SH groups connected by a saturated hydrocarbon ...

An alternative to ‘single electron’ transistors made on fabricated quantum ... So, when we bring the STM tip very close to the molecule and apply a bias voltage to the tip-sample junction, single ...

Theoretical physicists in the US have proposed a new way to make a single-molecule transistor. David Cardamone ... tunnelling microscope and the mechanically-controllable break junction techniques ...

Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, an autonomous institute, developed a unique transistor using single ... nanometer gap precisely sized for a single molecule like ferrocene in a technique ...

Insets display the schematic images of Au-ODT-Au (right) and Au-BDT-Au (left) junctions. This is a conceptual diagram only, as only one molecular junction type at a time can be fabricated with the ...

The study shows that single molecules can function as reproducible circuit elements such as transistors ... a cluster junction stopped on the cluster for a while. Usually, in small-molecule ...

could lead to a significantly better characterization of the local junction structure. The nanostructured metallic electrodes used to realize single-molecule junctions are coincidentally some of ...

Through the construction of electrode-molecule-electrode junction (molecular junction), connecting a single molecule to ... optical switches, transistors, and outlook some challenges and ...

A new technical paper titled “Quantum interference enhances the performance of single-molecule transistors” was published by researchers at Queen Mary University of London, University of Oxford, ...
