Funded Activity Summary

Greatly improved rectification by molecular diodes. Society has already seen dramatic benefits from microtechnology, which has made possible most of the devices that we take for granted. The limits of miniaturisation using current technology are rapidly being reached, and the next stage is in the realm of nanotechnology. The goal of the field known as molecular electronics is to reach the point where electronic components are composed of single molecules or single molecular layers. In this field the smallest active component is the molecular diode, and this project is focussed on achieving practical performance from molecular diodes, as a crucial first step in achieving miniaturisation far beyond anything now possible.
