Electronic transport properties of single-molecule junctions have been widely measured by
several techniques, including mechanically controllable break junctions, electromigration …

Single-molecule junctions—devices in which a single molecule is electrically connected by
two electrodes—enable the study of a broad range of quantum-transport phenomena even …

Graphene can develop large magnetic moments in custom-crafted open-shell
nanostructures such as triangulene, a triangular piece of graphene with zigzag edges …

Emergence of π-magnetism in open-shell nanographenes has been theoretically predicted
decades ago but their experimental characterization was elusive due to the strong chemical …

Molecular junctions, where single molecules are bound to metal or semiconductor
electrodes, represent a unique architecture to investigate molecules in a distinct …

The ability to make electrical contact to single molecules creates opportunities to examine
fundamental processes governing electron flow on the smallest possible length scales. We …

In this article, we review the state of the art on the transport properties of quantum dot
