  • Patent number: 8691392
    Abstract: The present invention relates to asymmetric molecular bilayers for the use in the junctions of electronic devices, such as crossbar junctions, comprising the general structure ET-MT( )MB-EB, wherein ET and EB denote a top and a bottom electrode, MT and MB represent functional molecules both forming a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on said top or bottom electrode, and the symbol ( ) denotes a non-covalent interaction between the two monolayers, resulting in a molecular bilayer, sandwiched between the two electrodes. The electrodes are solid state electrodes and stationary with respect to each other. The present invention also relates to a method of producing such assemblies.

  • Publication number: 20060208252
    Abstract: The present invention relates to molecules exhibiting rectifying properties. In particular, the present invention relates to a molecular rectifying assembly, comprising the general structure METAL1-CON1-BRIDGE-CON2-METAL2 in which CON1 and CON2 are a connecting group or connecting part and independently of each other are molecular groups bound to METAL1,2 in such a way that an adsorbate state with an energy close to the Fermi energy of the metal is formed at one or both of the METAL1,2/CON1,2 interfaces, METAL is selected from metals and/or alloys of metals, and BRIDGE is the core of the molecule, consisting of pi-conjugated and non-conjugated parts. Furthermore, the present invention relates to uses of said molecular rectifying assembly or the production of electronic devices where molecules are placed between at least two electrodes.
