Electronic and Optoelectronic Properties of Single-Molecule Junctions — •Joachim Reichert1, Cao Qi1, Harald Fuchs1, Ivan Stich2, and Dominik Marx31Physikalisches Institut, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, D - 48149 Münster — 2Center for Computational Material Science, Slovak University of Technology, Ilkovicova 3, 812 19 Bratislava — 3Lehrstuhl für Theoretische Chemie, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, D - 44780 Bochum

Recent developments and advances in atomic-scale imaging and manipulation techniques enables access to a new field of single molecule experiments. Electronic transport measurements through single organic molecules which are immobilized by self assembling techniques between two metallic electrodes (e.g. mechanically controlled breakjunction [1]) as well as tunnelling experiments through molecular films with STM have proven the ability of organic molecules to act as functional parts in nanoscale-devices. Especially scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) with its ability to apply an optical field to a molecular system in a controlled manner enlarges the range of experimental available properties in metal-anchored molecular junctions. With a combination of these techniques we want to study the electronic/optoelectronic properties of single molecules covalently linked between a metallic substrate and a SNOM-tip to improve the understanding of electronic transport through single molecules.
