Double-contact tunneling junction

Kuznetsov and Ulstrup initialized recently a discussion on the importance of conformational dynamics and electrical double layer effects on charge transport characteristics in single metal/redox-molecule/metal tunneling junctions [237,253]. Tao et al. explored the stabihty and break down of Au-thiol contacts, and addressed quantitatively local ionic and electron heating in single junctions composed of redox-inactive molecules [254].
