Abstract
In this dissertation, we investigate charge transport in magnetic nano-objects. We use the mechanically-controlled break junction (MCBJ) technique to contact single molecules and use three different device geometries to optimize the process of contacting nanoparticles. We focus in particular on magnetic signatures in the quantum transport of these structures.
