With this, the electrical properties of different functional groups in one molecule are vertically resolved. The current versus distance plot is shown to consist of three different parts, whose logarithmic slope is interpreted as the decay length of the vacuum, the biphenyl group, and the alkane chain. This finding is described in a trilayer tunnel junction model and the decay constant, beta(Ph), of the tunneling current through the biphenyl group is estimated. Besides characterizing the biphenylalkanethiol monolayers electrically, the structure of these layers is determined by UHV-STM. Two new structures with rectangular (4 x 6 root 3) lattices are identified for 4'-methyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4-ethanethiol self-assembled monolayers on (111)-oriented gold surfaces.}, keywords = {J (WoSType)}, cin = {IFF-6 / CNI / JARA-FIT}, ddc = {540}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)VDB786 / I:(DE-Juel1)VDB381 / $I:(DE-82)080009_20140620$}, pnm = {Grundlagen für zukünftige Informationstechnologien}, pid = {G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK412}, shelfmark = {Chemistry, Physical / Nanoscience $\&$ Nanotechnology / Materials Science, Multidisciplinary}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000245954900036}, doi = {10.1021/jp067459l}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/56505}, }
