The physical, electronic, mechanical, and chemical connections that materials
make to one another and to the outside world are critical. Just as the
properties and applications of conventional semiconductor devices depend on
these contacts, so do nanomaterials, many nanoscale measurements, and devices
of the future. We discuss the important roles that these contacts can play in
preserving key transport and other properties. Initial nanoscale connections
and measurements guide the path to future opportunities and challenges ahead.
Band alignment and minimally disruptive connections are both targets and can
be characterized in both experiment and theory. I discuss our initial forays
into this area in a number of materials systems.
