Molecular Electronic Junctions
Abstract
A review with 228 references on experimental investigation of conductor/molecule/metal molecular electronic junctions is presented. Devices based on covalent and Langmuir−Blodgett bonding of single molecules or molecular monolayers to conducting substrates are reviewed, as characterized by scanning probe microscopy and microelectronic techniques. Phenomena observed to date include molecular rectification, conductance switching, and nonlinear current/voltage behavior. Prospects and problems for the application of molecular junctions to the more general area of molecular electronics are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
