Fast temporal fluctuations in single-molecule junctions

Faraday Discuss. 2006:131:281-9; discussion 307-24. doi: 10.1039/b506390f.

Abstract

The noise within the electrical current through single-molecule junctions is studied cryogenic temperature. The organic sample molecules were contacted with the mechanically controlled break-junction technique. The noise spectra refer to a where only few Lorentzian fluctuators occur in the conductance. The frequency dependence shows qualitative variations from sample to sample.
