Electrostatic control over temperature-dependent tunnelling across a single-molecule junction
The effect of temperature on charge transport mechanisms in molecular tunnel junctions is not fully understood. Here, charge transport studies of a redox-active molecule unveil multiple mechanistic regimes which may be explained by thermal broadening of the Fermi distributions of electrons in the le...

| description | The effect of temperature on charge transport mechanisms in molecular tunnel junctions is not fully understood. Here, charge transport studies of a redox-active molecule unveil multiple mechanistic regimes which may be explained by thermal broadening of the Fermi distributions of electrons in the leads. |
