Nanoscale molecular-switch devices fabricated by imprint lithography Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Nanoscale molecular-electronic devices comprising a single molecular monolayer of bistable [2]rotaxanes sandwiched between two 40-nm metal electrodes were fabricated using imprint lithography. Bistable currentvoltage characteristics with high onoff ratios and reversible switching properties were observed. Such devices may function as basic elements for future ultradense electronic circuitry.
