Conductance Difference of Single Molecular Junctions between Experiments and Computational Simulations
Abstract
Recent advances in the synthesis and characterization of nanoscale objects provided us with the atomistic understanding of charge transport through single molecular junctions. The representative examples are the mechanically controlled break junction technique and STM or conducting AFM junction techniques. Theoretical studies have been reported on the dependence of electronic charge transport on the geometry of molecule-electrode contacts, the critical element toward the realization of molecular electronics. In this report, we will clarify the puzzling discrepancies between theoretical predictions and experiments.
