Stable, reproducible nanorecording on rotaxane thin films.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stable, reversible conductance transitions and memory effects were observed in solid-state rotaxane-based Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) thin films. Taking advantage of the switching property, we have achieved reproducible nanometer-scale recording dots on rotaxane LB films via voltage application using a scanning tunneling microscope probe. The stable and easily controlled conductance switching makes the rotaxanes a hopeful candidate for nanorecording.

Reversible, erasable, and rewritable nanorecording on an H2 rotaxane thin film.
Reversible, erasable, and rewritable nanoscale recording on organic thin films is of practical importance in ultrahigh density information storage. The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is a powerful tool that enables nanorecording on organic films by inducing conductance transitions of the organic molecules.1-6 Rotaxane molecules have shown significant potential to be used as the building bl...
متن کاملConditioning of hydrogenated amorphous carbon thin films for field emission via current stressing
The effects of electrical current stressing on the field emission characteristics of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) thin films are reported. In these a-C:H films an initial conditioning treatment of the film is often required before the onset of stable emission and only after several voltage cycles do the values of the threshold field tend to converge. By stressing of the film by applyin...

متن کاملNew Sol-Gel Solution with 45 Days Stability for Preparation Silica Thin Films
As we know sol-gel is one of the most important techniques for thin film preparation. In this paper, high transmission silica thin films have been prepared by dip-coating process from a new silicon-alkoxide solution. The prepared sol was stable for 45 days which is very important to characterize the coating process. The optical properties as a function of aging time, withdrawal rate, and he...
