  • Nanogaps on atomically thin materials as non-volatile read/writable memory devices
    Patent number: 10396175
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the presence of nanogaps across a metal dispersed over an atomically-thin material, such that the nanogap exposes the atomically-thin material. The resulting device offers an ultra-short gap with ballistic transport and demonstrated switching in the presence of a gate or dielectric material in close proximity to the channel.
    Type: Grant
