Interaction of Chemical Agents with Nanoscale Molecular Junctions

Abstract

This report describes research from an SAIC contract with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency to support efforts under the Chemical and Biological Defense Initiative Fund (CBDIF). This research program examined the interaction of various chemical agents with molecular junctions and the electronic effects observed on charge transport through nanoscale metamolecule- metal-devices. We utilized a magnetic self-assembly technique to fabricate in parallel molecular junctions which incorporated a variety of organic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs).
