Chemical groups capable of connecting molecules physically and electrically between electrodes are of critical importance in molecular-scale electronics, influencing junction conductance, variability, and function. While the development of such linkage chemistries has focused on interactions at gold, the distinct reactivity and electronic structure of other electrode metals provides underexplored opportunities to characterize and exploit new binding motifs. In this work we show that α,ω-alkanedibromides spontaneously form well-defined junctions using silver, but not gold, electrodes through application of the glovebox-based scanning tunneling microscope-based break junction method.

In this work, a design of transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope (CryoSTM) is proposed. TIA with the tip-sample component in CryoSTM is called as CryoSTM-TIA. With transimpedance gain of 1 GΩ, the bandwidth of the CryoSTM-TIA is larger than 200 kHz.

Conductance quantization of 2D materials is significant for understanding the charge transport at the atomic scale, which provides a platform to manipulate the quantum states, showing promising applications for nanoelectronics and memristors. However, the conventional methods for investigating conductance quantization are only applicable to materials consisting of one element, such as metal and graphene. The experimental observation of conductance quantization in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with complex compositions and structures remains a challenge.

The kagome lattice is a well-known model system for the investigation of strong correlation and topological electronic phenomena due to the intrinsic flat band, magnetic frustration, etc. Introducing chirality into the kagome lattice would bring about new physics due to the unique symmetry, which is still yet to be fully explored. Here we report the investigation on a two-dimensional chiral kagome lattice utilizing tight binding band calculation and topological index analysis.
