Wiring up single molecules
The possibility of using single molecules as active elements of electronic devices offers a variety of scientific and technological opportunities. In this article, we discuss transistors, where electrons flow through discrete quantum states of a single molecule. First, we will describe molecules, where current flows through one cobalt atom surrounded by two insulating terpyridyl ligands. Depend...
متن کاملPiezoresistivity in single DNA molecules
Piezoresistivity is a fundamental property of materials that has found many device applications. Here we report piezoresistivity in double helical DNA molecules. By studying the dependence of molecular conductance and piezoresistivity of single DNA molecules with different sequences and lengths, and performing molecular orbital calculations, we show that the piezoresistivity of DNA is caused by...
متن کاملNanorheology of single protein molecules
The unfolding process of dimerized protein was investigated on a single protein basis using an atomic force microscope (AFM). In normal force-distance curve measurements, each monomer unit was unfolded step by step. We also measured the relax-stress response using “nanorheology AFM” that was newly developed to apply any required movements on a z-piezoelectric scanner, especially short stroke si...
متن کاملPair Tunneling through Single Molecules.
By a polaronic energy shift, the effective charging energy of molecules can become negative, favoring ground states with even numbers of electrons. Here we show that charge transport through such molecules near ground-state degeneracies is dominated by tunneling of electron pairs which coexists with (featureless) single-electron cotunneling. Because of the restricted phase space for pair tunnel...
متن کاملA man for single molecules.
Single-molecule methods have developed into a mature and powerful research approach that is adding new insights into many different areas within the physical and life sciences. The ability to detect and perform experiments on single molecules opens up new experimental approaches to investigating the physical world. One is no longer limited by ensemble averaging, making it possible to detect sub...
