Présentation

Molecular electronic devices are appealing because they are complementary to conventional electronic devices and can operate in the quantum-mechanical tunneling regime. The electron transport properties through a single molecule junction and the nano-positioning of molecules between electrodes are intrinsic to form molecular devices at variable scales. The collective electronic properties of molecular junctions, involving single, or 10s of molecules at a nanoscale, are keys to shrinking molecular device in size as well as to improving the device performance with possible real-life applications. My research topics reside mainly on these issues about how molecules can be organized and how reactivities can be involved on surface ; once the molecules are connected between two electrodes at solid state, how individual single molecule or an assembly of molecules can conduct charges. I aime to investigate how molecules can transport charges at a single molecule- or nano- scales, enabling the demonstration of quantum phenomena including memory or capacity for storages, molecular optical switches, and molecular rectification for diodes, etc. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) are used as advance technical tools to image, or to construct single and nanoscale MJs and to study their charge transport properties.
