Work at UCLA (Heath and Stoddart Groups)
shows that Catenanes and Rotaxanes
exhibit molecule-specific electrical switching
when the bottom electrode is poly-Si
and the bias voltages are small (< 2V)
At larger bias voltages (~ 4V),
a completely different switching mechanism
with larger on/off ratio but less controllable
properties becomes dominant

Can we build memory or logic ?
• MEMORY
– Use switching behavior in a crosspoint configuration
• LOGIC
– Diode logic: require open crosspoints and diode
crosspoints
• Do not yet have both
– Resistor logic: requires precise resistances

Conclusions
• DEVICE = MOLECULAR FILM + ELECTRODES
– Aluminum: NDR, Charge motion model, affects
tunnel current transport
– Platinum:
Switch with molecule or electrode reconfiguration
– Generic mechanisms in molecular devices
– USEFUL mechanisms: successful demonstration of
memory and logic
– Will these mechanisms scale to < 10nm ?
