Electrical Characterization

In order to understand the function of moletronic devices, it is necessary to first measure basic electrical properties of these devices. The "nano-bucket" is being developed as a device model, and the electrical properties of the molecules assembled in these "nano-buckets" will be measured using electrical probe stations. These data will not only provide insights into the charge transport mechanism in moletronic devices, but also allow for a comparison with measurements from scanned-probe experiments.
