| Abstract |
Multidisciplinary research at the interface with organic chemistry allows one to take advantage of bottom-up structural control for functional materials at the atomic level. Such an advantage brings direct benefit to study of molecular-scale electronic devices. This presentation will introduce an interesting nanoscale platform applicable to fundamental understanding of charge transport across organic molecules. The target platform is based on electrode/molecule/electrode junction structure. This is a type of structurally complicated nanoscale device, which often shows complexities arising from ill-defined molecule-electrode interface and from complicated molecular structure on surface. This presentation will describe our recent effort to resolve this problem using high-yielding and well-defined large-area junctions formed with molecular monolayers and liquid metal top-electrode. This junction system enables how structure of organic molecule is related to quantum tunneling-based charge transport across it. While presenting recent understanding of tunneling through various types of functional organic molecules, we try to reconcile our results with previously reported experimental and theoretical ones. |
