“…In molecular electronics, individual molecules or a small group of molecules are utilized as electronic components, such as wires, 6,7 diodes, [8][9][10] switches, 11,12 and transistors, 13,14 to perform certain electronic functions. 15 Therefore, the most fundamental question in this field is what is the electronic conductance of a junction composed of a single (or a few) molecule(s).…”
