Conductance spectra of molecular wires
Abstract
A relatively simple and straightforward procedure for characterizing molecular wires is to measure the conductance spectrum by forming a self-assembled ordered monolayer (SAM) on a metallic surface and using a high scanning-tunneling microscope resolution (STM) tip as the other contact. We find that the conductance spectrum (dI/dV vs. V) can be understood fairly well in terms of a relatively simple model, provided the spatial profile of the electrostatic potential under bias is properly accounted for. The effect of the potential profile is particularly striking and can convert a symmetric conductor into a rectifier and vice versa. The purpose of this paper is to (1) describe the theoretical model in detail, (2) identify the important parameters that influence the spectra and show how these parameters can be deduced directly from the conductance spectrum, and (3) compare the theoretical prediction with experimentally measured conductance spectra for xylyl dithiol and phenyl dithiol.

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.
