Methods for the analysis, interpretation, and prediction of single-molecule junction conductance behaviour

Abstract

This article offers a broad overview of measurement methods in the field of molecular electronics, with a particular focus on the most common single-molecule junction fabrication techniques, the challenges in data analysis and interpretation of single-molecule junction current–distance traces, and a summary of simulations and predictive models aimed at establishing robust structure–property relationships of use in the further development of molecular electronics.
