| Research Abstract |
Deep understanding of the electrical conduction in the nano-domain is necessary to realize the molecule electronics, ultimate electric circuits that designate individual molecules as electronic parts. In this research, we have engaged in development of nano-gap electrodes and precise measurement of molecular conduction especially at low temperatures. We have determined the electron transmission coefficients, fundamental quantity that characterizes the molecular bridge, and found hydrogen and C_<60> form rather transparent molecular bridges. We also clarified peculiar conduction properties of graphene, a two-dimensional macromolecule.
