摘要: Abstract The current carrying capacity of individual organic molecules covalently bound to silicon has been studied. Adsorbates consisting exclusively saturated CC bonds were found be entirely stable whereas adsorbates containing π could controllably dislodged under modest conditions. act as a chromophore, taking energy from scattered electron, that can selectively channeled into SiC bond breaking. class are is closely related unsaturated widely investigated for enhanced molecular wire character. It predicted devices such will fail when operated. Measures avoid current-induced breaking described. New processes based upon the controlled phenomenon suggested.
