摘要：

We describe the first single-molecule electromechanical amplifier, the active element of which is one fullerene molecule (C-60) With a junction length and width of similar to 1 nm. Forces in the nano-Newton range are generated by a metallic tip pressing on the molecule in its adsorbed state. This working nanodevice is based on the modulation of virtual resonance tunneling through the molecule by electromechanical deformation of the C-60 cage. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
