Fabrication and characterization of quantum dots with carbon nanotube-molecule heterojunctions

We have used single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT)/molecule heterojunctions to fabricate quantum structures. In one example, three different SWCNTs were connected in series with collagen model peptide molecules between them. We expect the molecule work as [...]

High-Fidelity Modeling of Single Molecule Quantum Electronic Devices

Lyshevski S.E., Rochester Institute of Technology, US

Departing from two-terminal molecular electronic devices, this paper examines multi-terminal MEdevices. These devices are envisioned to be utilized in emerging molecular gates (Mgates) and neuronal hypercells for expected molecular integrated circuits. High-fidelity modeling and heterogeneous [...]

Single Molecule Quantum-Effect Electronic Devices

Lyshevski S.E., Rochester Institute of Technology, US

This paper examines multi-terminal quantum-effect devices. These devices are envisioned to be utilized in emerging molecular gates (Mgates) and neuronal hypercells for expected molecular integrated circuits. In addition to molecular-centered processing and memories, MEdevices are [...]

High Quality Nanogap Electrodes for Electronic Transport Measurements of Single Molecules

Johnston D.E., Strachan D.R., Guiton B.S., Davies P.K., Johnson A.T., University of Pennsylvania, US

Single molecule-based electronic devices hold the potential for higher density and higher performance applications in medicine, sensing, computing and photovoltaics. Experimentally, metal-molecule-metal (MMM) junctions provide a system for measuring molecular electronic properties directly. We developed [...]
