5 Single-Molecule Transistors Why Transistors? With only two-probe measurements, it is hard to characterize the device structure. With a transistor gate, we can shift molecular energy levels systematically, to understand the mechanisms of electron motion. V Source Gate Drain I V g Magnetic electrodes, mechanical adjustability, and using light excitations provide additional experimental knobs that enable controlled, systematic experiments. p.5

7 Creating single-molecule transistors Larger features are defined via photolithography Nanowires are generated by e-beam lithography Deposit molecules on electrodes Pass large currents: electromigration induced gap formation. (H. Park et al. APL (1999).) C nm Cobalt p.7
8 Device prep and electromigration A chip with ~30 nanowires is: Cleaned in an oxygen plasma. Molecules of interest are immediately deposited. The chip is cooled to cryogenic temperatures. A nanoscale gap is created using electromigration. In a fraction of the break junctions, a molecule will bridge the gap. Electromigration Movie made by Kirill Bolotin Electromigration in break junctions: H. Park et al. APL 75, 30 (1999). p.9
