Impact of Anchoring Groups on Ballistic Transport: Single Molecule vs Monolayer Junctions.

In contrast to the full coverage case, where the sign of the change in electrostatic energy depends on the anchoring group, for the single-molecule limit it is always negative. The more extended variations of the electrostatic energy in the direction perpendicular to the metal surface result in a quite significant modification of the molecular eigenstates.
