Effects of Gold Contacts on Transport through Benzene Molecule

Farajian A.A., Belosludov R.V., Mizuseki H., Kawazoe Y., Tohoku University, JP

Miniaturization of electronic devices has resulted in intensive interest in molecular devices that basically consist of a group of a few atoms, in contrast to the previous ‘bulk’ materials. As the molecules that are to [...]

An Organic Molecule – Fullerene Mixture for a High Efficiency Photovoltaic Device: Theoretical Study

Mizuseki H., Niimura K., Majumder C., Kawazoe Y., Tohoku University, JP

The current general trend in research and development of photovoltaic elements is aimed at producing lower cost devices. An encouraging breakthrough in the development of highly efficient materials has been achieved by mixing electron-donor type [...]

The 2.4F2 Memory Cell Technology with Stacked-Surrounding Gate Transistor (S-SGT) DRAM

Suzuki M., Endoh T., Sakuraba H., Masuoka F., Tohoku University, JP

This paper reports that the Stacked-Surrounding Gate Transistor (S-SGT) DRAM achieves a cell size of 2.4F 2. The S-SGT DRAM is structured by stacking several SGT-type cells in series vertically. In order to realize cell [...]
