Title: Measurement Environment Dependency of Single Molecule Conductance
Abstract: Abstract In order to investigate the measurement environment dependency of single molecule conductance, the lifetime of Au single-atom contacts and the conductance of a metal complex were investigated in solution and vacuum using a nanofabricated, mechanically controllable break junction (nano-MCBJ). The lifetime of Au single-atom contacts in a solution is shorter than that in vacuum. Single molecule conductance of a metal complex was found to be independent of the measurement environment.
