Single‐Molecule Devices
In article number 2202135, Zong‐Liang Li, Christian A. Nijhuis, Enrique Del Barco, and co‐workers report a single‐electron logic calculator formed by a gated Au/S‐(CH2)3‐Fc‐(CH2)9‐S/Au transistor. The unique adjacent conductive molecular orbitals in the Fc moiety are controlled by the orthogonal bias and gate voltages, resulting in the implementation of all universal logic...
Controllable single‐molecule logic operations will enable development of reliable ultra‐minimalistic circuit elements for high‐density computing but require stable currents from multiple orthogonal inputs in molecular junctions. Utilizing the two unique adjacent conductive molecular orbitals (MOs) of gated Au/S‐(CH2)3‐Fc‐(CH2)9‐S/Au (Fc = ferrocene) single‐electron transistors (≈2 nm), a stable single‐electron...
A straightforward method to generate both atomic‐scale sharp and atomic‐scale planar electrodes is reported. The atomic‐scale sharp electrodes are generated by precisely stretching a suspended nanowire, while the atomic‐scale planar electrodes are obtained via mechanically controllable interelectrodes compression followed by a thermal‐driven atom migration process. Notably, the gap size between the...
In article number 1703815, Zongliang Li, Takhee Lee, Dong Xiang, and co‐workers fabricate both atomic‐scale sharp and atomic‐scale planar electrodes by pure mechanical operation, and the gap size between electrodes can be controlled with sub‐angstrom accuracy. With these two achievements, the electron transport as well as Raman scattering in the molecular junctions are well modulated.
