      abstract     = {The further miniaturization of electronic devices is a
                      strong driving force in science. 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.},
