In the last few decades, devices based on organic materials have been studied. One goal is to create applications performed nowadays by silicon-based CMOS technology with organic materials. In these studies the interest is placed upon diverse properties of the organic molecules, such as their electronic, geometric, thermal, optical, and electroluminescence characteristics. One of the main problems of these studies is the lack of geometrical control of the systems during the measurements. As the physical properties critically depend on the exact geometry, contradictory results are found in literature. To overcome this lack of control, this work introduces a new method which enables transport studies on single molecules with highly controlled junction geometries. The concept of this method, which is based on scanning probe techniques, will be presented as well as its realization. The method will be applied to molecule-metal junctions with molecules of different lengths which are contacted by different metal electrodes. It will be shown that highly reproducible experiments can be performed. Furthermore, the physical interpretation of the measurements will be discussed. It will be demonstrated that the profound knowledge of the geometry in these junctions helps to achieve a better understanding of the transport properties. 000202695 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-899$$a899 - ohne Topic (POF3-899)$$cPOF3-899$$fPOF III$$x0 000202695 650_7 $$xDiss. 000202695 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/202695/files/Schluesseltech_108.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000202695 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/202695/files/Schluesseltech_108.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yOpenAccess 000202695 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/202695/files/Schluesseltech_108.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yOpenAccess 000202695 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/202695/files/Schluesseltech_108.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 000202695 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/202695/files/Schluesseltech_108.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 000202695 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:202695$$pdnbdelivery$$pVDB$$pdriver$$popen_access$$popenaire 000202695 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000202695 9141_ $$y2015 000202695 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)142140$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b0$$kFZJ 000202695 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-899$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-890$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-800$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bProgrammungebundene Forschung$$lohne Programm$$vohne Topic$$x0 000202695 920__ $$lyes 000202695 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-3-20110106$$kPGI-3$$lFunktionale Nanostrukturen an Oberflächen$$x0 000202695 980__ $$aphd 000202695 980__ $$aVDB 000202695 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)PGI-3-20110106 000202695 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000202695 9801_ $$aFullTexts
