Nearfield trapping increases lifetime of single-molecule junction by one order of magnitude

Abstract: Progress in molecular electronics (ME) is largely based on improved understanding of the properties of single molecules (SM) trapped for seconds or longer to enable their detailed characterization. We present a plasmon-supported break-junction (PBJ) platform to significantly increase the lifetime of SM junctions of 1,4-benzendithiol (BDT) without the need for chemical modification of molecule or electrode. Moderate far-field power densities of ca. 11 mW/µm2 lead to a >10-fold increase in minimum lifetime co… Show more
