Creating functional electrical circuits using individual or ensemble molecules, often termed
as “molecular-scale electronics”, not only meets the increasing technical demands of the …

Single molecule electronic devices in which individual molecules are utilized as active
electronic components constitute a promising approach for the ultimate miniaturization and …

Nanoparticles (NPs) are commonly referred to as “artificial atoms”, 1 as they can exhibit
atomic-like behaviors. The analogy is highlighted by a result that, just like atoms, electronic …

We review the fascinating research on charge transport through switchable molecules. In the
past decade, detailed investigations have been performed on a great variety of molecular …

Molecular electronics seeks to incorporate molecular components as functional elements in
electronic devices. There are numerous strategies reported to date for the fabrication …

The combination of electrodeposition and polymeric templates created by heavy-ion
irradiation followed by chemical track etching provides a large variety of poly-and single …

Single-molecule detection with chemical specificity is a powerful and much desired tool for
biology, chemistry, physics, and sensing technologies. Surface-enhanced spectroscopies …

Nanoscience is not just physics, chemistry, engineering, or biology, but rather an integration
of all of these disciplines. The first comprehensive and interdisciplinary text of its kind …

Electronic conduction through single molecules is affected by the molecular electronic
structure as well as by other information that is extremely difficult to assess, such as bonding …

The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with essential keys to a unified
understanding of the rapidly expanding field of molecular materials and devices: electronic …
