摘要: Understanding the electrical properties of semiconducting quantumdot devices have been limiteddue tothevariabilityoftheirsize/compositionandthechemistry ligand/electrode binding. Furthermore, to probe their conduction and its dependence on binding, measurements must be carried outatthesingledot/clusterlevel.Hereinwereportscanning tunneling microscope based break junction cobalt chalcogenide clusters with Te, Se S conductance properties. Our measured trendsshowthattheCoTebasedclustershavethehighest while Co-S lowest. These trends are in very good agreement cyclic voltammetry first oxidation potentials density functional theory calculations HOMO� LUMO gaps.
