Molecular electronics: connection across nano-sized electrode gaps.

چکیده
Prefabricated nano-scale structures in which gold electrodes are separated by an insulating core permit self-assembly of a single string "molecular necklace" around its circumference; these devices require no further invasive metal deposition following molecular insertion and exhibit symmetrical current-voltage (I-V) curves that mimic those of self-assembled films on planar substrates.

In Situ Voltammetric Determination of Promethazine on Carbon Paste Electrode Modified with Nano-sized Molecularly Imprinted Polymer
A precise and simple in-situ voltammetric measurement of promethazine, based on the nano sized molecularly imprinted polymer (nano-MIP) was introduced. The nano-MIP was synthesized utilizing vinyl benzene and Divinylbenzene as the functional monomer and cross-linker respectively, and via the micro-emulsion polymerization method in silicon oil. The MIP particles were then embedded in a carbon pa...
متن کاملClean electromigrated nanogaps imaged by transmission electron microscopy.
Electromigrated nanogaps have shown great promise for use in molecular scale electronics. We have fabricated nanogaps on free-standing transparent SiN(x) membranes which permit the use of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to image the gaps. The electrodes are formed by extending a recently developed controlled electromigration procedure and yield a nanogap with approximately 5 nm separatio...
متن کاملA NEW GAS DIFFUSION ELECTRODE (GDE) WITH A BETTER O2 REDUCTION ELECTROCATALYSTS WITH VERY LOW PT CONTENTS VIA NANO-SIZED PT-COATED NAFION
In the present study, a new gas diffusion electrode (GDE) (based on Pt/Nafion membrane) is fabricated. The electrochemical results show that the new GDE has the highest electrochemical activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) among the three electrodes. The SEM and XRD findings show that a platinum layer can be attached to Nafion membrane closely and firmly with a strong peak corresp...
متن کاملChemical fabrication of heterometallic nanogaps for molecular transport junctions.
We report a simple and reproducible method for fabricating heterometallic nanogaps, which are made of two different metal nanorods separated by a nanometer-sized gap. The method is based upon on-wire lithography, which is a chemically enabled technique used to synthesize a wide variety of nanowire-based structures (e.g., nanogaps and disk arrays). This method can be used to fabricate pairs of m...
متن کاملTowards Single Molecule Manipulation with Dielectrophoresis Using Nanoelectrodes
We present measurements of the scaling of the dielectrophoresis force with electrode size and particle size, in order to determine the ultimate size limits for dielectrophoresis at the nanoscale. To demonstrate the feasibility of nano-manipulation we present studies on the dielectrophoretic manipulation of DNA with microfabricated electrodes using RF electric fields. We find that DNA undergoes ...
