Abstract:Stimuli-responsive
molecular junctions, where the conductance can be altered by an external
perturbation, are an important class of nanoelectronic devices. These have
recently attracted interest as large effects can be introduced through
exploitation of quantum phenomena. We show here that significant changes in conductance
can be attained as a molecule is repeatedly compressed and relaxed, resulting
in molecular folding along a flexible fragment and cycling between an <i>anti</i>
and a <i>sy… Show more
