26. The adsorbed molecule decreased the surface energy of the Au atomic chain, which lead to the stabilization of the Au atomic chain. Improved stability of the metal atomic chain by adsorbed molecules was also observed for the Au contacts. H. X. He, C. Shu, C. Z. Li, and N. J. Tao, J. Electroanal.

40. The conductance of the single fullerene molecule junction depends on the atomic configuration of the junction. The discrepancy of the conductance of experimental results and theoretical calculation results can be explained by the other factors (e.g., atomic configuration of the electrodes) which was not considered in the theoretical calculation.
