Odd‐even effects in molecular junctions: A Solomonic resolution of conflicting reports on conductance trends, metal specificity, and microscopic origin

Abstract Odd–even conductance alternation in alkanethiol (CnT, –12) self‐assembled monolayers has been debated for two decades, with conflicting reports on trends, metal dependence, and microscopic origin. Using conducting probe atomic force microscopy (CP‐AFM) with Ag, Au, and P...

Chirality-Induced One-Way Magnetoresistance in Gold Nanocrystals

Abstract Magnetoresistance (MR), a cornerstone for quantum materials and quantum devices, is usually symmetric (sometimes antisymmetric) under magnetic field reversal. Here, we report a chirality-induced one-way magnetoresistance (ChiMR) in gold nanocrystals, where MR is strongly...

2D MoS 2 /Au Interfaces For Enhanced Opto–Electronic Response With Sub‐Bandgap Photons

ABSTRACT Monolayer is a direct bandgap semiconductor with potential applications in optoelectronics and photonics. also has a large optical nonlinearity. However, the atomic thickness of the monolayer limits the strength of the measured functional signals, such as the photocurren...
