Experimental Techniques for Probing Transport Properties of Molecular Junctions 329

using the STM-BJ technique, as described earlier in Section 10.6.1).

Given the wide variety of molecules that can be self-assembled on

metal surfaces, the CP-AFM technique has been extensively used

to understand the effect of: (1) the length of molecules and (2)

the reactive end groups of molecules on the charge transport of

molecular junctions [46, 47, 62].

To measure the Seebeck coefficient of molecular junctions with

the CP-AFM technique, Tan et al. [52, 53] made modifications on the

conventional CP-AFM ...
