Molecular Electronics: Noncovalent Self Assembled Monolayers on Graphene as a Highly Stable Platform for Molecular Tunnel Junctions (Adv. Mater. 4/2016)
Monolayer graphene is used by C. A. Nijhuis and co workers as the bottom electrode to fabricate stable and high quality tunnel junctions based on self assembled monolayers (SAMs) as described on page 631. The SAMs are formed on graphene via non covalent interactions without altering the structure of the graphene. This work paves the way to new types of molecular electronic junctions based on 2D materials.
