Abstract :
In this paper, we report negative differential resistance in a bilayer molecular junction. The molecular junctions were formed by contacting an amino nitro benezenethiol self-assembled monolayer (SAM) supported by an gold film with a second SAM comprised of alkanethiol molecules supported on the surface of mercury drop.
