Abstract
Light can interact with certain metals and can be captured in the form of plasmons, which are collective, ultra-fast oscillations of electrons that can be manipulated at the nano-scale. Surface plasmons are seen as a promising phenomenon to potentially bridge the gap between fast operating speed optics and nano-scale electronics. Quantum tunnelling has been predicted to occur across two closely separated plasmonic resonators at length scales (< 0.3 nm) that are not accessible by present-day nanofabrication techniques. In this Chapter, we will give an introduction of this thesis which proves that quantum-plasmonics is possible at length scales that are useful for real applications and demonstrates the fabrication of a molecular electronic circuit using two plasmonic resonators, which are structures that can capture light in the form of plasmons, bridged by monolayer of molecules.
