The basic component of molecular devices is a molecular junction and the continuous downsizing of electrodes to a limit of 10 nm emphasizes the need for stable junctions at the single molecule level.As a result, the study of the transport properties of single molecular junctions (SMJ) has attracted broad and significant research interests in the past decades. In this respect, scanning tunneling microscopy break junction technique (STM-bj) will be used to construct and to study the charge transport properties and functionalities for future molecular memory and diode, the proposed phd project will mainly focus on the following points:
Part I: The conductivity will be studied by STM-bj with the target to improve their stability
Functional molecules with active anchoring groups are selected in investigating the single molecular junctions. STM-based break junction (BJ) measurements will be performed where STM tip will be controlled to crash on molecule decorated the surface and to pull-out the metal-molecule-metal junctions. Conductance-vs-extension (I(d)) curves will be extracted while pulling-out the junctions and will allow the measurements of the conductance of a single molecule.[1,2] The phd project will be to study singlemolecular conductance with improved stability by improving the molecule/electrode contacts using various anchoring. [3-4]The life time of the SMJ isexpected to be largely improved [5] (into minutes or hours) and the electric contacts to be optimized for a better performance of the junctions. The result of Part I will provide well-define method to achieve very stable SMJ for the following functionality characterization.
Part II: SMJs with functionalities for memory
The formation and the conductance measurement of SMJs with potential applicable functionalities for real-life devices are [essential. Multi-states molecules [6-7] are appealing candidates for the design of molecular devices, such as memristors. The selected molecules which have not only multiple well-defined and stable states with distinctively tunable electronic properties [8-11], but canalso and more importantly, be switched by different means such as light, heat or electrical stimulation. The target molecules will be then appropriately connected inside a SMJ (using the methods achieved in part I). Different conduc(ON) and conduc(OFF) values will be measured using STM-bj technique and reliable single molecule I/V curves will be recorded for the investigation of single molecule memory effect.
