ORGANIC MOLECULE MEMORY AND ORGANIC MOLECULE THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an organic molecule memory having excellent memory retention characteristics.;SOLUTION: The organic molecule memory includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and an organic molecule layer provided between the first conductive layer and second conductive layer, and containing an organic molecule selected from a molecule group simultaneously satisfying, in a molecular system having a molecular skeleton where a π electron system is spreading along the molecular axis, (I) any one of the highest occupied molecular orbit (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbit (LUMO) is delocalized along the molecular axis and the other is localized along the molecular axis, and (II) the highest occupied molecular orbit (HOMO) energy level of molecule has a value of -5.75 eV or more.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT
