(author), Dulic, D. (author)We have investigated charge transport in ZnTPPdT-Pyr (TPPdT: 5,15-di(p-thiolphenyl)-10,20-di(p-tolyl)porphyrin) molecular junctions using the lithographic mechanically controllable break-junction (MCBJ) technique at room temperature and cryogenic temperature (6 K). We combined low-bias statistical measurements with spectroscopy of the molecular...journal article 2011

Frisenda, R. (author), Parlato, L. (author), Barra, M. (author), Van der Zant, H.S.J. (author), Cassinese, A. (author)In this letter, we report the single-molecule conductance properties of a cyano-functionalized perylene-diimide derivative (PDI8-CN 2 ) investigated with gold nano-electrodes. This molecule is of large interest for the fabrication of high-performance and air-stable n-type organic field-effect transistors. Low-bias experiments performed on...journal article 2015

Frisenda, R. (author), Tarkuc, S. (author), Galan, E. (author), Perrin, M.L. (author), Eelkema, R. (author), Grozema, F.C. (author), Van der Zant, H.S.J. (author)We report on an experimental investigation of transport through single molecules, trapped between two gold nano-electrodes fabricated with the mechanically controlled break junction (MCBJ) technique. The four molecules studied share the same core structure, namely oligo(phenylene ethynylene) (OPE3), while having different aurophilic anchoring...journal article 2015
