Popis:	We have fabricated and analyzed devices where an electrode gap was bridged by a chain of citrate stabilized gold particles. The current–voltage characteristic I ∼ ( V − V t ) ζ with voltage threshold V t ≈ 0 and scaling exponent ζ = 0.91 is attributed to charge transport in a one-dimensional path. We observe current fluctuations in the frequency range 3–100 mHz as function of time as a result of conformational changes in the citrate molecules induced by charge transfer across the molecules.
