Conductivity of single Mo₆S_9−xI_xmolecular nanowire bundles

Longitudinal resistivity measurements on single Mo6S9−xIx (x = 4.5, 6 and 7) molecular nanowire bundles ranging in diameter from d = 7 nm to 1 µm are performed to investigate the longitudinal transport properties of individual bundles. Different contacting methods are used to study diverse nanocircuit manufacturing technologies that can be used for interconnects based on Mo6S9−xIx. The measurements show ubiquitously linear I–V characteristics...
