The Junction Width Effect on Inelastic Electron Tunneling Spectroscopy in Octanethiolate Molecular Junctions

Article Preview

Abstract:

First-principles investigation on the inelastic electron tunneling spectra of octanethiolate molecular junctions is performed. It is demonstrated that the inelastic electron tunneling spectra are very sensitive to the molecular junction width. The varied peak height mainly caused by the different coupling energy between the electrode and molecule.
