Physical Society ColloquiumInterview for Faculty PositionContacts in nano-electronicsXiaodong CuiColumbia UniversityAs the dimension shrinks to nanometer-scale, contacts between metal electrodes and molecules play a much more important role than these in bulk. Effects of `surface states' could spread through the whole nano-electronics system. Here we discuss (i) How to form electric contacts to single molecules, and (ii) How contacts between single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and metal electrodes control the properties of carbon nanotube field effect transistors (NT-FETs).
