Implementation of fully functional devices based on the concept of Molecular electronics depends strongly on our ability to characterize, control and exploit properties of single molecules.

The state of matter in fluid phases, determined by the interactions between particles, can be characterized by a pair correlation function (PCF).

The ultimate goal of molecular electronics is to create technologies that will complement—and eventually supersede - Si-based microelectronics technologies. To reach this goal, the field of single-molecule electronics is aiming at recognizing and characterizing single-molecule devices that mimic at least some of the behaviors of today's semiconductor components.

Electron spin polarization is usually associated to the presence of external fields or magnetic interfaces. However, Chiral-Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS) refers to a symmetry-breaking effect whereby chiral molecules are capable of filtering an electronic spin component.
