Conductance switching of azobenzene-based self-assembled monolayers on cobalt probed by UHV conductive-AFM
نویسندگان
چکیده
The conductance photoswitching of azobenzene derivatives on Co surface is found in good agreement between experiment (C-AFM/UHV) and theory (NEGF/DFT). These results make this Co–AzBT molecular junction a test-bed for spintronics.

Since the first measurement of electron tunneling through an organic monolayer in 1971,(Mann and Kuhn, 1971) and the gedanken experiment of a molecular current rectifying diode in 1974,(Aviram and Ratner, 1974) molecular-scale electronics have attracted a growing interest, both for basic science at the nanoscale and for possible applications in nano-electronics. In the first case, molecules are...

متن کاملLocalized surface plasmon resonance investigations of photoswitching in azobenzene-functionalized self-assembled monolayers on Au.
Localized plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy, employing gold nanodisk substrates, is applied for studies of photoswitching in self-assembled monolayers of azobenzene-containing thiols. By choosing customized samples in which the sharp LSPR resonance is well separated from the spectral regime of the molecular absorption bands, the photoisomerization kinetics of the adlayer can be monitored in...
