Measurements of single-molecule electromechanical properties based on atomic force microscopy fixed-junction technique

Abstract

A hybrid technique combining atomic force microscope and fixed junction technique is developed to simultaneously probe the electrical and mechanical characteristics of a single-molecule junction.

Emerging sensing platforms based on Cucurbit[n]uril functionalized gold nanoparticles and electrodes

“…Very recently, a hybrid technique combining AFM and the fixed-junction technique was developed, which can simultaneously probe the electrical and mechanical characteristics of a single-molecule junction. 125 Collectively, these findings underscore the capacity of SMFS as a powerful and precise technique for scrutinizing supramolecular interactions.…”

Molecular-Scale Electronics: From Individual Molecule Detection to the Application of Recognition Sensing

“…The BJ method, capable of creating thousands of molecular junctions in a short time, is widely utilized for constructing SMJs and measuring charge transport through individual molecules. This method involves rapid collision and separation between electrodes, which can be achieved using platforms or techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), ,− conductive-atomic force microscopy (C-AFM), and mechanically controlled break junctions (MCBJ). , …”
