摘要：Understanding and tuning charge transport over a single molecule is a fundamental topic in molecular electronics.Single-molecule junctions composed of individual molecules attached to two electrodes are the most common components built for single-molecule charge transport studies.During the past two decades,rapid technical and theoretical advances in single-molecule junctions have increased our understanding of the conductance properties and functions of molecular devices.In this perspective article,we introduce the basic principles of charge transport in single-molecule junctions,then give an overview of recent progress in modulating single-molecule transport through external stimuli such as electric field and potential,light,mechanical force,heat,and chemical environment.Lastly,we discuss challenges and offer views on future developments in molecular electronics.
