Translating the Integration Challenges to Molecular Device Requirements – Analysis of Scaling Constraints in Molecular Random Access Memories

Amsinck C.J., Di Spigna N.H., Nackashi D.P., Franzon P.D., North Carolina State University, US

Integrating molecular memory devices into large scale arrays is a key requirement for translating the miniature size of molecular devices into ultradense memory systems. This in turn imposes constraints on the individual molecular memory devices. [...]

Fault Detection and Diagnosis Techniques for Molecular Computing

Tahoori M.B., Mitra S., Northeastern University, US

Fault detection and diagnosis techniques that are essential for defect tolerance, fault tolerance and self-repair of molecular computing systems are discussed. These techniques enable robust molecular computing system design protected from manufacturing defects and run-time [...]

Discontinuous Gold Films for Nanocell Memories

Nackashi D.P., Di Spigna N.H., Winick D.A., Amsinck C.J., Cheng L., Tour J.M., Franzon P.D., North Carolina State University, US

An important component to the nanocell, among other self-assembled networks, is the fabrication of a framework by which molecular elements can be interconnected. This framework must be nanometric in scale, created in a material suitable [...]

Information Coding for Intramolecular Integration of Logic Functionality

Ciontu F., Roman C., Courtois B., Tima Laboratory, FR

Although molecular electronics has a great potential, the feasibility of this technology will be however conditioned by the possibility of building complex circuits. But while on the technological versant rapid progresses have been accomplished during [...]

Current Collapse in Tunnelling Transport through Benzene

Hettler M., Wenzel W., Wegewijs M., Schoeller H., Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, DE

Single molecule electronic devices offer exciting perspectives for further minituarization of electronic circuits with a potentially large impact in applications. Several experiments have demonstrated the possibility to attach individual molecules to leads and to measure [...]

Theoretical Analysis of Donor – Spacer – Acceptor Structure Molecule for Stable Molecular Rectifier

Mizuseki H., Niimura K., Majumder C., Belosludov R.V., Farajia A.A., Kawazoe Y., Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University, JP

Electrical Transport through Single-molecule Junctions: From molecular orbitals to conduction channels

Heurich J., Cuevas J.C., Wenzel W., Schön G., Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, DE

Present trends in the miniaturization of electronic devices suggest that ultimately single molecules may be used as electronically active elements in a variety of applications. Recent advances in the manipulation of single molecules now permit [...]

TranSIESTA: A SPICE for Molecular Electronics

Stokbro K., Taylor J., Brandbyge M., Ordejon P., Technical University of Denmark, DK

With our newly developed method,TranSIESTA[1], it has become possible to model complex molecular electronics devices under operation conditions. In this presentation I will describe the basic principles behind the method and applications of the method [...]

Computations of Nanotubes as Agents for Molecular Electronics: Narrow Nanotubes Related to C36, C32, C20, and C16

Slanina Z., Uhlík F., Institute of Chemistry, Academia Sinica, TW

Very recently, narrow nanotubes have been observed with diameter of 5 A and even with a diameter of 4 A. It has been supposed that the narrow nanotubes are closed by fragments of C36 and [...]
