Understanding charge transport through nanocarbon materials across the metal–molecule interface is a fundamental issue in organic devices. In recent years, single-molecule scale studies on charge transport through the metal–molecule interface have been made possible by break junction techniques. Here, we present our recent singlemolecule transport studies on nanocarbon materials using scanning tunneling microcopy (STM) and break junction techniques in combination with current-voltage measurements and fist principle simulations [1-4].
