In Operando Modulation of Rectification in Molecular Tunneling Junctions Comprising Reconfigurable Molecular Self-Assemblies.

摘要: The reconfiguration of molecular tunneling junctions during operation via the self-assembly bilayers glycol ethers is described. Well-established functional groups are used to modulate magnitude and direction rectification in assembled by exposing them solutions containing different ethers. Variable-temperature measurements confirm that occurs expected bias-dependent tunneling-hopping mechanism for these ethers, besides being an unusually efficient medium, behave similarly alkanes. Memory bits fabricated from crossbar prepared injecting eutectic Ga-In (EGaIn) into microfluidic channels. states two 8-bit registers were set trains droplets such they able perform logical AND operations on bit strings encoded chemical packets alter composition through effect memristor-like properties. This proof-of-concept work demonstrates potential fieldable devices based comprising self-assembled monolayers and bilayers.
