An electric field induced reversible single-molecule fluorescence switch.
We report that by applying an electric field to a single squaraine-derived rotaxane (SR) molecule on bare glass, the fluorescence can be completely quenched. The molecule undergoes a reversible fluorescence switch between a zero-field "on" state and a high-field "off" state, which is attributed to intramolecular electron transfer within the SR molecule.
متن کاملElectric field breakdown in single molecule junctions.
Here we study the stability and rupture of molecular junctions under high voltage bias at the single molecule/single bond level using the scanning tunneling microscope-based break-junction technique. We synthesize carbon-, silicon-, and germanium-based molecular wires terminated by aurophilic linker groups and study how the molecular backbone and linker group affect the probability of voltage-i...
متن کاملPromising anchoring groups for single-molecule conductance measurements.
The understanding of the charge transport through single molecule junctions is a prerequisite for the design and building of electronic circuits based on single molecule junctions. However, reliable and robust formation of such junctions is a challenging task to achieve. In this topical review, we present a systematic investigation of the anchoring group effect on single molecule junction condu...
متن کاملPlasmon-Induced Conductance Enhancement in Single-Molecule Junctions
The effect of surface plasmons on the conductance of singlemolecule junctions is studied using a squeezable break junction setup. We show that the conductance of 2,7-diaminofluorene single-molecule junctions can be enhanced upon laser irradiation. Our experimental approach enables us to show that this enhancement is due to the plasmon-induced oscillating field within the nanoscale metal gap of ...
متن کاملMeasurement of single-molecule conductance.
What is the conductance of a single molecule? This basic and seemingly simple question has been a difficult one to answer for both experimentalists and theorists. To determine the conductance of a molecule, one must wire the molecule reliably to at least two electrodes. The conductance of the molecule thus depends not only on the intrinsic properties of the molecule, but also on the electrode m...
