Summary:
Non-symmetric electrical properties, such as rectification, negative differential resistance, threshold gate, hysteresis effect, and integrated threshold gate, are essential to realize brain oriented electronic devices, which are believed to withstand noise and fluctuations. So far, there is no concrete design principle for single-molecule electronic devices. In the tunneling regime of the molecules, the I-V characteristics are essentially dependent on the density of states (DOS) of the system, while in the hopping mechanisms, the molecules can be charged to change their electronic properties. To understand this principle, we have synthesized a series of molecules to study the single-molecule electrical properties.
