Abstract

Molecular rectification is a particularly attractive phenomenon to examine in studying structure–property relationships in charge transport across molecular junctions, since the tunneling currents across the same molecular junction are measured, with only a change in the sign of the bias, with the same electrodes, molecule (s), and contacts. This type of experiment minimizes the complexities arising from measurements of current densities at ...
