Molecular Devices for CMOL Circuits

Summary

Our collaboration is developing single-electron-transfer-based, integrable molecular devices for future use as sub-10-nm crosspoint latching switches in CMOL circuits. The work includes all aspects of the problem: device simulation [4], chemical synthesis [3], and experimental studies [1, 2].
