Analytical Challenges in Molecular Electronics

Analytical chemistry in molecular electronics.

This review discusses the analytical characterization of molecular electronic devices and structures relevant thereto. In particular, we outline the methods for probing molecular junctions, which contain an ensemble of molecules between two contacts. We discuss the analytical methods that aid in the fabrication and characterization of molecular junctions, beginning with the confirmation of the ...

Molecular Electronics: Challenges and Opportunities

Integrating individual molecules into electrical circuits, often termed as " Molecular Electronics " , is currently a focus research area because it can not only meet the increasing technical demands of the miniaturization of traditional Si-based electronic devices, but also provide an ideal window of exploring the intrinsic properties of materials at the molecular level. Indeed, over the past ...

Mono - molecular electronics on a surface : challenges and opportunities

Molecular Electronics

Molecular electronics describes the field in which molecules are utilized as the active (switching, sensing, etc.) or passive (current rectifiers, surface passivants) elements in electronic devices. This review focuses on experimental aspects of molecular electronics that researchers have elucidated over the past decade or so and that relate to the fabrication of molecular electronic devices in...
