Abstract Eutectic gallium–indium (EGaIn), a liquid metal with a melting point close to or
below room temperature, has attracted extensive attention in recent years due to its …

The use of molecules bridged between two electrodes as a stable rectifier is an important
goal in molecular electronics. Until recently, however, and despite extensive experimental …

This review focuses on molecular ensemble junctions in which the individual molecules of a
monolayer each span two electrodes. This geometry favors quantum mechanical tunneling …

Molecular electronics is driven by the dream of expanding Moore's law to the molecular level
for next‐generation electronics through incorporating individual or ensemble molecules into …

Hummelen et al. for the first time reported the synthetic route and characterization of a
soluble methanofullerene derivative in 1995. In the same year, such a fullerene derivative …

The unique π-electron conjugated system and high electron affinity makes fullerenes
attractive candidate electrode materials for applications in energy storage devices. However …

Molecular electronics promise electronic devices that are miniaturized to molecular and
atomic levels. Despite significant efforts made towards understanding and improving the …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used to engineer the surface properties of
metals. The relatively simple and versatile chemistry of metal–thiolate bonds makes thiolate …

Electrical breakdown is a critical problem in electronics. In molecular electronics, it becomes
more problematic because ultrathin molecular monolayers have delicate and defective …

Functionality in molecular electronics relies on inclusion of molecular orbital energy level
within a transmission window. This can be achieved by designing the active molecule with …
