Nanoscale electrode gaps to study single molecule conduction

The fabrication of electrode pairs with a small electrode gap separation using a focussed-ion-beam is reported. Using a previously developed technique, the gap between the electrodes was bridged using several benzenedimethanethiol molecules and a single gold nanoparticle. The electrical properties o...
