Abstract
In this paper, we present the room temperature current-voltage characteristics of large (100×100 μ m2) and a nanoscale (100×100 nm2) metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor containing few silicon nanocrystals. The layer of silicon crystals is synthesized within the oxide of this capacitor by ultralow energy ion implantation and annealing. Current fluctuations in the form of discrete current steps and sharp peaks are apparent in the static and dynamic I (V) characteristics of the capacitor. These features have been associated to quantized charging and discharging of the nanoparticles and the resulting Coulomb interaction to the tunneling current. © 2005 American Vacuum Society

Abstract
We report on charge transport across self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of short tau peptides by probing the electron tunneling rates and quantum mechanical simulation. We measured the electron tunneling rates across SAMs of carboxyl-terminated linker molecules (C6H12O2S) and short cis-tau (CT) and trans-tau (TT) peptides, supported on template-stripped gold (AuTS) bottom electrode, with Eutectic Gallium-Indium (EGaIn)(EGaIn) top electrode. Measurements of the current density across thousands of AuTS/linker/tau//Ga2O3/EGaIn single-molecule junctions show that the tunneling current across CT peptide is one order of magnitude lower than that of TT peptide.
