Charge Transport in Self-assembled Nanoparticle-molecule Systems

Charge transport in self-assembled gold nanoparticle (NP)-alkanedithiol (HS(CH2)nSH) systems are investigated using break-junctions. A remarkably simple and reproducible method to fabricate break-junctions using electromigration is described. Using the break-junctions, self-assembled NP systems are...
