The tunnel junction of a gold nanogap was fabricated electrochemically for a molecular sensing device in solution. The tunnel junction was sensitive enough to detect the variation of a potential barrier within the nanogap, such as the chemical adsorption of molecules. By monitoring the variation of the tunneling current, which represents the change of a potential barrier due to molecular adsorption, the molecules could be detected.
