Electronic transport properties of single C₆₀ molecules and device applications

C₆₀ molecules have become increasingly important during the last decade concerning both their basic physical and chemical properties as well as potential applications. Explorations of C₆₀ based nanodevices have been performed recently based on the unique properties of C₆₀ molecules. In this paper, the transport properties of C₆₀ single molecules in different tunneling junction configurations are reported and a summary of the theoretical and experimental development of C₆₀ based molecular devices is presented and discussed.
