Abstract

A novel way to arrive at a single molecule junction in the partially wet phase is described. The fabrication of this device makes use of a natural drying process. Details are provided concerning the fabrication of the device and the related material choices. In addition a process description is provided with a step by step approach for creating the partially wet phase molecular MCB junction.
