  • Patent number: 11545640
    Abstract: Disclosed are a series of photoisomeric compounds, preparation method therefor and device comprising the compounds, wherein a photoisomeric compound-graphene molecular junction device is formed by linking the photoisomeric compound to a gap of two-dimensional monolayer graphene having a nano-gap array via an amide covalent bond. When a single photoisomeric compound is bridged to the gap of the two-dimensional monolayer graphene having a nano-gap array, the devices have a reversible light-controlled switching function and a reversible electrically-controlled switching function. A molecular switch device prepared by the method can achieve a high reversibility and a good reproducibility. The number of light-controlled switching cycles can exceed 104, and the number of electrically-controlled switching cycles can reach about 105 or greater. Moreover, the above-mentioned reversible molecular switch device remains stable within a period of more than one year.

    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides a techniques for precisely and/or functionally cutting carbon nanotubes, e.g., single walled carbon nanotubes (“SWNTs”) and integrating a single nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a DNA molecule) into a gap formed into the carbon nanotubes. In one aspect, a method of fabricating a molecular electronic device includes disposing a SWNT on a base layer, forming a gap in the SWNT using a lithographic process, and disposing a single DNA strand across the gap so that each end of the nucleic acid contacts a gap termini. The disclosed subject matter also provides techniques for measuring the electrical properties (charge transport) of a DNA molecule which is integrated into an SWNT. Furthermore, a molecular electronic device including an SWNT with an integrated nucleic acid molecule is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8649764
    Abstract: A method and system for implementing debit card service based on callback. The method is applied to a mobile terminal set with an automatic dialing function unit, automatic dialing function of the automatic dialing function unit is activated, and a number corresponding to the mobile terminal is bound with one debit card. The method includes the following steps: a preset callback access number is dialed before the called number by the automatic dialing function unit in the mobile terminal to connect the call to a debit card service platform when the mobile terminal calls the called number; the debit card service platform releases the call and calls back the mobile terminal; the called number is continued by the debit card service platform after the mobile terminal answers the callback; the debit card service based on callback is implemented.

  • Patent number: 7928432
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the fabrication of molecular electronics devices from molecular wires and Single Wall Nanotubes (SWNT). In one embodiment, the cutting of a SWNT is achieved by opening a window of small width by lithography patterning of a protective layer on top of the SWNT, followed by applying an oxygen plasma to the exposed SWNT portion. In another embodiment, the gap of a cut SWNT is reconnected by one or more difunctional molecules having appropriate lengths reacting to the functional groups on the cut SWNT ends to form covalent bonds. In another embodiment, the gap of a cut SWNT gap is filled with a self-assembled monolayer from derivatives of novel contorted hexabenzocoranenes. In yet another embodiment, a device based on molecular wire reconnecting a cut SWNT is used as a sensor to detect a biological binding event.
