Handbook of Single-Molecule Electronics

With contributions from chemists, physicists, theoreticians, and engineers, this book covers all aspects of single-molecule electronics, from the theory through experimental realizations and the chemical synthesis of molecular components to the implementation of molecular components in future integrated circuits. It describes established methods and recent advances, including vibrational effects, switching phenomena, quantum interference, thermal power, and parallel assembly strategies. The authors add more details to the chapters than typically found in the primary literature, so that the book can be read not only by specialists but also by non-experts and students with an interest in the research field.
