a All IETS spectra show the characteristic C-H stretch of alkane chains at 360 meV. b IETS in the fingerprint region of representative C8 (magenta) and C10 (blue) junctions, with the following assignment of modes31, 33: (A) Bi-S vibration, (B) C-S wag, (C) C-S stretch, (D) C-C stretch, (E) CH2 wag, (F) CH2 scissor. c The effect of temperature on the conductance of three different C8 (magenta) and three different C10 (blue) junctions in the temperature range between 8–300 K. The variation between junctions comply with the variation in conductance as presented in all other figures. The presented behavior for each junction was found to be highly reproducible under repeated measurements and temperature cycles.
