abstract = {The further miniaturization of electronic devices is a
strong driving force in science. Since a few decades systems
based on organic materials are studied. One goal is to
create applications performed nowadays by silicon based CMOS
technology with organic materials. In these studies the
interest is placed upon diverse properties of the organic
molecules, such as their electronic, geometric, thermal,
optical, and electroluminescence characteristics. One of the
main problems of these studies is the lack of geometrical
control of the systems during the measurements. As the
physical properties critically depend on the exact geometry,
contradictory results are found in literature. To overcome
this lack of control, this work introduces a new method
which allows transport studies on single molecules with
highly controlled junction geometries. The concept of this
method, which is based on scanning probe methods, will be
presented as well as its realization. The method will be
applied to molecule-metal junctions with molecules of
different lengths which are contacted by different metal
electrodes. It will be shown that highly reproducible
experiments can be performed. Furthermore, the physical
interpretation of the measurements will be discussed. It
will be demonstrated that the profound knowledge of the
geometry in these junctions helps to get a better
understanding of the transport properties.},
