Transistor behavior via Au clusters etched from electrodes in an acidic gating solution: metal nanoparticles mimicking conducting polymers

Jacob E. Grose, Burak Ulgut, Abhay N. Pasupathy +2

We report that the electrical conductance between closely-spaced gold electrodes in acid solution can be turned from off [insulating; I] to on [conducting; C] to off again by monot…
