Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Devices (Single-Molecule Technology)

摘要

We developed organic-inorganic hybrid photonic and electronic devices by combining single molecules with inorganic mediums or nanoelectrode gaps. We demonstrated that our novel photonic devices combining single molecules and photonic crystals can improve the efficiency of light use of molecules and control the photofunctions of the molecules. We investigated properties of a single-molecule single-electron transistor (SET) in which a nanoelectrode gap was bridged by a π-conjugated molecule, and a nanoparticle SET in which gold nanoparticles were coupled through multiple molecular junctions.
