The understanding of the electronic properties of nanoscale systems such as a single molecule is both of fundamental interest and important for the development of applications for these units. We are interested in developing fabrication and measurement techniques for the study of such systems. Using electro-migrated breakjunctions to form nanometer-scale gaps, we measured the spin-dependent transport properties of individual N@C60 endofullerene molecules and observed a spin state transition as a function of magnetic field. In another system, we used the technique of repeatedly-formed breakjunctions to determine the conductance of the on and off isomers of individual photochromic dithienylethene molecules. Finally, I will also discuss our current work-in-progress related to spin current injection into graphene using nanoscale non-magnetic electrodes.
