Large-area, ensemble molecular electronics: Motivation and challenges

Ayelet Vilan, Dinesh Aswal, David Cahen

We review charge transport across molecular monolayers, which is central to molecular electronics (MoE) using large-area junctions (NmJ). We strive to provide a wide conceptual ove…

A permanent, stable, and simple top-contact for molecular electronics on Si: Pb evaporated on organic monolayers

Robert Lovrinčić, Olga Kraynis, Rotem Har-Lavan +4

We show that thermally evaporated lead (Pb) preserves the electronic properties of organic monolayers on Si and the surface passivation of the Si surface itself. The obtained curre…

Charge transport across metal/molecular (alkyl) monolayer-Si junctions is dominated by the LUMO level

Omer Yaffe, Yabing Qi, Lior Segev +9

We compare the charge transport characteristics of heavy doped p- and n-Si-alkyl chain/Hg junctions. Photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS, IPES and XPS) results for the molecule-Si band…

Molecular electronics at Metal / Semiconductor Junctions Si inversion by Sub-nm Molecular Films

Omer Yaffe, Luc Scheres, Sreenivasa Reddy Puniredd +8

Electronic transport across n-Si-alkyl monolayer/Hg junctions is, at reverse and low forward bias, independent of alkyl chain-length from 18 down to 1 or 2 carbons! This and furthe…
