TLDR
In this article, a negative differential-resistance (NDR) molecular device is realized involving two C60 molecules, one is adsorbed on the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope and the other is on the surface of the hexanethiol self-assembled monolayer.Abstract:
Negative differential-resistance (NDR) molecular device is realized involving two C60 molecules, one is adsorbed on the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope and the other is on the surface of the hexanethiol self-assembled monolayer. The narrow local density of states features near the Fermi energy of the C60 molecules lead to the obvious NDR effect. Such controllable tunneling structure and the associated known electronic states ensure the stability and reproducibility of the NDR device.read more
