Abstract
ABSTRACTMolecular junctions in which individual molecules are utilized as active electronic components constitute a promising approach for the ultimate miniaturization and integration of electronic devices through the bottom-up strategy. A study on charge transport through the constituent molecules attached to two metallic electrodes is a very challenging task, but advances have been made in recent years. Especially, inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) has recently become a premier analytical tool for investigating nanoscale molecular junctions. The IETS spectrum provides invaluable information about the correlation between charge carriers and molecular vibrations in the junctions. This review discusses how IETS is used to investigate molecular junctions and presents an overview of recent experimental and theoretical studies.
