Design and Control of Highly Conductive Single-Molecule Junctions : A Focus on the Metal-Molecule Interface

This thesis describes improvements to and control of the electrical conductance in single-molecule junctions (SMJs), which have potential applications in molecular electronics, with a focus on the bonding between the metal and molecule. In order to improve the electrical conductance, the π orbital o...
