Abstract
Quantum interference effects arising from phase differences in coherent electron wavefunctions offer novel strategies for regulating electron transport of single molecules, and the experimental observation of quantum interference effects has persisted as a major research frontier in molecular electronics. Recent advances using electrochemical gating have achieved the experimental evidences of three fundamental quantum interference phenomena, including Breit-Wigner resonance, Mach-Zehnder interferometery and Fano resonance, at the room temperature, thereby completing the experimental verification of all known quantum interference effects at the single–molecule scale. This review summarizes the applications of electrochemical gating in electron coherent tunneling, discusses the experimental validation of quantum interference effects at the single–molecule scale, and prospects their potential applications in high-performance single-molecule transistor devices.
期刊介绍：
The development of the Current Opinion journals stemmed from the acknowledgment of the growing challenge for specialists to stay abreast of the expanding volume of information within their field. In Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, they help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1.The views of experts on current advances in electrochemistry in a clear and readable form.
2.Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
In the realm of electrochemistry, the subject is divided into 12 themed sections, with each section undergoing an annual review cycle:
• Bioelectrochemistry • Electrocatalysis • Electrochemical Materials and Engineering • Energy Storage: Batteries and Supercapacitors • Energy Transformation • Environmental Electrochemistry • Fundamental & Theoretical Electrochemistry • Innovative Methods in Electrochemistry • Organic & Molecular Electrochemistry • Physical & Nano-Electrochemistry • Sensors & Bio-sensors •
