Measuring Single-Molecule Conductance at An Ultra-Low Molecular Concentration in Vacuum

We report on systematic investigation of single-molecule detection mechanisms in break junction experiments in vacuum. We found molecular feature in the conductance traces at an extremely low concentration of molecules of 10 nM. This was attributed to condensation of the molecular solution on the ju...
