Abstract
Insensitivity: A series of molecules containing a common head group and body as well as structurally varied tail groups (-R) has been used in junctions with the structure Ag/S(CH2)4CONH(CH2)2R//Ga2O3/EGaIn to study the rates of charge transport by tunneling. Changing the structure of R over a range of common aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic organic groups was found to not significantly influence the rate of tunneling (see plots; the dashed lines represent calibration standards).
