Observation of the transition from tunneling to hopping carrier transport through single oligothiophene molecules
Keyword(s):
AbstractElectrical conductance of single oligothiophene molecules with a length in the range from 2 to 9 nm was measured as a function of molecular length by a break junction method. The resistance of oligothiophenes increased exponentially from 5-mer to 14-mer while that of molecules longer than 17-mer showed linear dependence on their length. These results indicated that the carrier transport mechanism changed from tunneling to hopping around 14-mer of which the length is approximately 6 nm.
