Benchmarking break-junction techniques: electric and thermoelectric characterization of naphthalenophanes

Abstract

Break-junction techniques provide the possibility to study electric and thermoelectric properties of single-molecule junctions in great detail. These techniques rely on the same principle of controllably breaking metallic contacts in...

How substituents tune quantum interference in meta-OPE3 molecular junctions to control thermoelectric transport

“…reduced transmission through a molecular junction (MJ), has been experimentally observed in both π-conjugated and σ-bonded molecular systems, and such materials show suppressed electrical conductance and increased thermopower. 14–19…”
