Unimolecular electronic assembly

Molecular electronics" (ME) (sensii stricto), or molecular-scale electronics" or unimolecular electronics" (UE) is the study of electrical and electronic processes measured or controlled om a molecular scale or on the nanometer scaleJ A wider definition of molecular electronics sensu lato), or "molecule-based electronics" encompasses electronic p ocesses by molecular assemblies of any scale, including macroscopic crystals and conducting polymers/ This article deals with UE and focuses on electrical conduction (asymmetric or not), through single molecules or through a monolayer of molecules measured in parallel.
