Molecular electronics: Charged with manipulation
Mark Ratner1
Abstract
The ability to control charge transport through individual molecules sandwiched between electrodes could lead to further miniaturization of electronics. A better understanding of how such junctions work is crucial.
In its simplest form, a molecular junction consists of a single organic molecule sandwiched between two much larger electrodes. More efficient and more precise control of current flow through such elements, and a detailed understanding of the factors that influence that flow, are essential to take electronics from the microscale of conventional, silicon-based technology down to the nanoscale.
