Fast temporal fluctuations in single-molecule junctions

Heiko Weber shows that fluctuations both within the contact molecule and in its local environment can affect the conductance of the junction.

Thermal gating of the single molecule conductance of alkanedithiols

Wolfgang Haiss demonstrates how the temperature dependence of molecular conductance at ambient temperatures could be due to changes in the conformer distribution.
