Conductance through single biphenyl molecules: symmetric and asymmetric coupling to electrodes

The contacts and the chemical bonds formed between metallic electrodes and molecules determine to a large extent the conductive properties of single molecular junctions, which represent the smallest possible active elements in an electronic circuit. We therefore investigated in a comparative study,...
