Perrin, M.L. (author), Eelkema, R. (author), Thijssen, J.M. (author), Grozema, F.C. (author), van der Zant, H.S.J. (author)In recent years, a wide range of single-molecule devices has been realized, enabled by technological advances combined with the versatility offered by synthetic chemistry. In particular, single-molecule diodes have attracted significant attention with an ongoing effort to increase the rectification ratio between the forward and reverse...review 2020

Perrin, M.L. (author), Galán García, E. (author), Eelkema, R. (author), Thijssen, J.M. (author), Grozema, F.C. (author), van der Zant, H.S.J. (author)In the pursuit of down-sizing electronic components, the ultimate limit is the use of single molecules as functional devices. The first theoretical proposal of such a device, predicted more than four decades ago, is the seminal Aviram–Ratner rectifier that exploits the orbital structure of the molecule. The experimental realization of single...journal article 2016
