Title:
MOLECULAR SCALE ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
Abstract not available for EP1542869
Abstract of corresponding document: US6756605
Molecular scale electronic devices are disclosed. Such devices include at least two conductive contacts, and a conductive path bridging the contacts. The conductive path is able to be written into a perturbed state by a voltage pulse, which can be of high or low conductivity, relative to an initial state. The conductive path comprises organic molecules including at least one electron-withdrawing group. Room temperature negative differential resistance is exhibited by the devices.
