On the mechanism of negative differential resistance in ferrocenylundecanethiol self-assembled monolayers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Negative differential resistance (NDR) peaks in the current-voltage characteristics of ferrocenylundecanethiol self-assembled monolayers are not reversible. The peaks turn to smoothly increasing currents as oxygen is removed from the system, indicating that NDR arises from the reaction of an energetic charged species with ambient oxygen.

Quantification of Redox-Induced Thickness Changes of 11-Ferrocenylundecanethiol Self-Assembled Monolayers by Electrochemical Surface Plasmon Resonance
Redox-induced orientation changes (or monolayer thickness changes) of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 11-ferrocenylundecanethiol (FcC11SH) were quantified by the electrochemical surface plasmon resonance (EC-SPR). EC-SPR enables one to determine the collective effect of the monolayer thickness and refractive index changes resulted from the oxidation of ferrocene (Fc) to ferrocenium. To meas...

We report stable and reproducible switching and memory effects in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). We demonstrate realization of negative differential resistance (NDR) and charge storage in electronic devices that utilize single redox-center-contained SAM as the active component; and compare the effects of various redox centers to switching and storage behavior. The devices exhibit electronica...

The transport characterization of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) based on the closed and open-shell forms of a fully conjugated polychlorotrimethylphenyl (PTM) derivative hybridized with the gold substrate reveals that both systems exhibit negative differential resistance (NDR) in their I-V curves which was attributed to similar resonant tunnelling with unoccupied molecular orbitals. This wor...
