  bibo_abstract:
  - Over the past two decades, molecular electronics has made significant progress
    toward discovering nanoscale analogues of conventional electronic components,
    largely enabled by the development of the scanning tunneling microscope-based
    break-junction (STM-BJ) technique. The STM-BJ technique enables precise and highly
    reproducible measurement of a molecule’s electronic transport properties, making
    it a powerful technique to explore physiochemical and electrochemical phenomena
    that are otherwise difficult to access. It has gained substantial popularity in
    the past 20 years, with experiments becoming increasingly diverse and sophisticated.
    Despite the wealth of literature, an accessible, practical guide to performing
    STM-BJ experiments and interpreting the data is largely absent. This tutorial
    includes a brief background into the development of STM-BJ measurements, followed
    by detailed explanations of instrumentation, data collection, statistical analysis,
    variations on standard experiments, and some troubleshooting methods. It is aimed
    at researchers looking to begin or improve STM-BJ studies in their laboratories,
    graduate students and postdoctoral researchers learning the technique, and readers
    seeking to critically evaluate the growing body of STM-BJ literature.@eng
