摘要

This paper compares charge transport across self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of n- alkanethiols containing odd and even numbers of methylenes. Ultraflat template-stripped silver (AgTS) surfaces support the SAMs, while top electrodes of eutectic gallium− indium (EGaIn) contact the SAMs to form metal/SAM//oxide/EGaIn junctions. The EGaIn spontaneously reacts with ambient oxygen to form a thin (∼ 1 nm) oxide layer. This oxide ...
