Anisotropic Conductivity at the Single-Molecule Scale

Journal Article Afsari, Sepideh ; Yasini, Parisa ; Peng, Haowei ; ... - Angewandte Chemie (International Edition)

In most junctions built by wiring a single molecule between two electrodes, the electrons flow along only one axis: between the two anchoring groups. However, molecules can be anisotropic, and an orientation-dependent conductance is expected. Here, we fabricated single-molecule junctions by using the electrode potential to control the molecular orientation and access individual elements of the conductivity tensor. We measured the conductance in two directions, along the molecular plane as the benzene ring bridges two electrodes using anchoring groups (upright) and orthogonal to the molecular plane with the molecule lying flat on the substrate (planar). The perpendicular (planar) conductance ismore »« less

Ordered quantum dot molecules and single quantum dots formed by self-organized anisotropic strain engineering

Journal Article Lippen, T van ; Noetzel, R ; Hamhuis, G J ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

An ordered lattice of lateral InAs quantum dot (QD) molecules is created by self-organized anisotropic strain engineering of an (In,Ga)As/GaAs superlattice (SL) template on GaAs(311)B by molecular-beam epitaxy, constituting a Turing pattern in solid state. The SL template and InAs QD growth conditions, such as the number of SL periods, growth temperatures, amount and composition of deposited (In,Ga)As, and insertion of Al-containing layers, are studied in detail for an optimized QD ordering within and among the InAs QD molecules on the SL template nodes, which is evaluated by atomic force microscopy. The average number of InAs QDs within the moleculesmore »« less

Single molecule characterization of anomalous transport in a thin, anisotropic film

Journal Article Kienle, Daniel F. ; Schwartz, Daniel K. - Analytica Chimica Acta

Here, the diffusion of small, charged molecules incorporated in an anisotropic polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) was tracked in three dimensions by combining single-molecule fluorescence localization (to characterize lateral diffusion) with Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between diffusing molecules and the supporting surface (to measure diffusion in the surface-normal direction). Analysis of the surface-normal diffusion required model-based statistical analysis to account for the inherently noisy FRET signal. Combining these distinct single-molecule methods, which are inherently sensitive to different length scales, permitted simultaneous characterization of severely anisotropic diffusion, which was more than three orders of magnitude slower in the surface-normal direction. We hypothesizemore »« less

Effects of the molecule-electrode interface on the low-bias conductance of Cu–H{sub 2}–Cu single-molecule junctions

Journal Article Jiang, Zhuoling ; Centre for Nanoscale Science and Technology, Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies, Peking University, Beijing 100871 ; Wang, Hao ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

The atomic structure and electronic transport properties of a single hydrogen molecule connected to both symmetric and asymmetric Cu electrodes are investigated by using the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism combined with the density functional theory. Our calculations show that in symmetric Cu–H{sub 2}–Cu junctions, the low-bias conductance drops rapidly upon stretching, while asymmetric ones present a low-bias conductance spanning the 0.2–0.3 G{sub 0} interval for a wide range of electrode separations. This is in good agreement with experiments on Cu atomic contacts in a hydrogen environment. Furthermore, the distribution of the calculated vibrational energies of the two hydrogen atoms inmore »« less
