Molecular wires and logic circuits integration in a single molecule?

摘要

Hybrid Molecular electronics do not offer good perspectives for miniaturization because (a) the interconnection length between 2 molecular devices must sufficient for Kirchhoff laws to be applicable and (b) the molecular self-assembly process will not position millions of molecules, with a correctable defect rate. We describe our progresses starting from our understanding of the tunnel transport phenomenon through a molecular wire. The differences between saturated, conjugated molecular wires and atomic wires will be exposed.
