On the Mechanical and Electronic Properties of Thiolated Gold Nanocrystals
K. Smaali, S. Desbief, G. Foti +7
We present a quantitative exploration, combining experiment and simulation, of the mechanical and electronic properties, as well as the modifications induced by an alkylthiolated c…
Conductance statistics from a large array of sub-10 nm molecular junctions
Kacem Smaali, Nicolas Clement, Gilles Patriarche +1
Devices made of few molecules constitute the miniaturization limit that both inorganic and organic-based electronics aspire to reach. However, integration of millions of molecular…
High on-off conductance switching ratio in optically-driven self-assembled conjugated molecular systems
Kacem Smaali, Stephane Lenfant, Sandrine Karpe +7
A new azobenzene-thiophene molecular switch is designed, synthesized and used to form self-assembled monolayers (SAM) on gold. An "on/off" conductance ratio up to 7x1E3 (with an av…
