Abstract

The diffusive mass transport of individual redox molecules was probed experimentally in microfabricated nanogap electrodes. The residence times for molecules inside a well-defined detection volume were extracted and the resulting distribution was compared with quantitative analytical predictions from random-walk theory for the time of first passage. The results suggest that a small number of strongly adsorbing sites strongly influence mass transport at trace analyte levels.
