Results deal specifically with molecular electronic junctions, where electronic contacts and transport are known to be sensitive to sample history and ambient exposure. We demonstrate that low-temperature atomic layer deposition can gently encapsulate and stabilize molecular electronic junctions, making it feasible to handle and transport junctions in air for many days with minimal change in electronic conduction. These findings indicate the potential for long-term stability of advanced synthetic nanoparticle/molecule nanoconstructs. For this study, conductivity through nanoparticle/molecule/nanoparticle junctions is analyzed and found to be consistent with nonresonant charge tunneling through a single or a small number of oligomeric phenylene ethynylene molecules in the electrical junction.

Current versus voltage analysis is consistent with charge tunneling through all systems studied. For molecules containing biphenyl, diphenyl acetylene, and alkane bridges, those containing an isocyanide terminal group show an order of magnitude increase in conductance as compared to those containing a thiol terminal group. Various theoretical predictions of the effect of isocyanide terminal groups on charge transfer through conjugated molecular systems are discussed and related to the results observed for charge transfer through conjugated and saturated molecules. The similar trends in charge transport observed for the different metal/linker interfaces suggest that the metal/linker contact plays an impo...}, number={22}, journal={JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C}, author={Chu, Changwoong and Ayres, J.
