    摘要: The memory cell or the memory array formed of such memory cells has different molecular or polymeric layers forming an electrochemical redox pair. A matrix acting as proton donors or acceptors is provided in the two different molecular or polymeric layers. If a corresponding voltage is applied between mutually crossing upper and lower interconnects, one layer of their molecules emits electrons to the interconnect. As a result the molecules are oxidized. At the same time, electrons flow from the other interconnect into the molecules of the other polymer layer. As a result the molecules of that layer are reduced. Charge transport is balanced by proton flow, so that the oxidation state of the two layers is stabilized. If the voltage polarity is reversed, the memory cell is rewritten to the initial form. The memory array is suitable where the number of read-outs significantly exceeds the number of write operations, for example in smart cards.

    摘要: A hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductor device is provided as a sensor for chemicals and light, said device being composed of: (i) at least one layer of a conducting semiconductor such as doped n-GaAs or n-(Al,Ga)As; (ii) at least one insulating layer such as of an undoped semiconductor; e.g. GaAs or (Al,Ga)As; (iii) a thin layer of multifunctional organic sensing molecules directly chemisorbed on one of its surfaces, said multifunctional organic sensing molecules having at least one functional group that binds to said surface and at least one another functional group that serves as a sensor; and (iv) two conducting pads on the top layer making electrical contact with the electrically conducting layer, so that the electrical current can flow between them at a finite distance from the surface of the device. The surface-binding functional group of the multifunctional organic sensing molecule may be one or more aliphatic or aromatic carboxyl, thiol, sulfide, hydroxamic acid or trichlorosilane groups. The functional group that serves as a sensor may be a group suitable for binding and detection of metal ions such as Cu2+, Fe2+ and Ru2+ such as radicals derived from hydroxamic acids, bipyridyl, imidazol and hydroxyquinoline, or a group that is an efficient light absorber at a given wavelength and is suitable for detection of light such as radicals derived from aliphatic or aromatic hydroxamates, substituted aromatic groups such as cyanobenzoyl and methoxybenzoyl, bipyridyl, hydroxyquinoline, or imidazolyl groups to which a metal porphyrin or a metal phtalocyanin residue is attached.

    摘要: This invention relates to organic based spintronic devices, and electronic devices comprising them, including spin valves, spin tunnel junctions, spin transistors and spin light-emitting devices. New polymer-, organic- and molecular-based electronic devices in which the electron spin degree of freedom controls the electric current to enhance device performance. Polymer-, organic-, and molecular-based spintronic devices have enhanced functionality, ease of manufacture, are less costly than inorganic ones. The long spin coherence times due to the weak spin-orbit interaction of carbon and other low atomic number atoms that comprise organic materials make them ideal for exploiting the concepts of spin quantum devices. The hopping mechanism of charge transport that dominates in semiconducting polymers (vs. band transport in crystalline inorganic semiconductors) enhances spin-magneto sensitivity and reduces the expected power loss.

    摘要: A unimolecular electrical rectifier is prepared by forming a metal electrode on a substrate such as silicon, glass or quartz. One or more organic monolayers are formed on the electrode by Langmuir-Blodgett film transfer methods, and the resulting organic layer is dried. The organic layer is super cooled to a temperature of about −200° C., to permit formation of a second electrode over the organic layer, without damaging the electrical properties of the organic layer. The two electrodes have the same composition, and the organic layer is a ground stage zwitteronic compound.
