Single Molecule Conductivity in Organic and Biomimetic Molecules:
(Parisa Yasini)
The conductance of single molecules depends not only on how conductive the molecule is but also on how the molecule connects to the electrodes. Our group has designed a conjugated thiol linker which can improve the conductance of the molecule-electrode junction. We continue to explore this topic by using the STM (scanning tunneling microscopy) break-junction method to study the conductance of single conjugated molecules with conjugated thiol linkers.
