    摘要: A method is provided for fabricating molecular electronic devices comprising at least a bottom electrode and a molecular switch film on the bottom electrode. The method includes forming the bottom electrode by a process including: cleaning portions of the substrate where the bottom electrode is to be deposited; pre-sputtering the portions; depositing a conductive layer on at least the portions; and cleaning the top surface of the conductive layer. Advantageously, the conductive electrode properties include: low or controlled oxide formation (or possibly passivated), high melting point, high bulk modulus, and low diffusion. Smooth deposited film surfaces are compatible with Langmuir-Blodgett molecular film deposition. Tailored surfaces are further useful for SAM deposition. The metallic nature gives high conductivity connection to molecules. Barrier layers may be added to the device stack, i.e., Al2O3 over the conductive layer.

    摘要: A field-emission ion source in which, under the influence of an electric field, ions are released from a metal or metal alloy present in an enclosed space in the liquid state. The ions are emitted from this space through a very narrow slit. This slit may be straight or curved. The field-emission ion source can be used in an ion thruster apparatus comprising an emitter module, an electrode system, and a power supply unit. A plurality of emitter modules can be combined to form an ion thruster apparatus having a greater ion current output. Instead of a liquid metal as the propellant, a metal in the solid phase can be supplied to the emitter module, which metal is melted in the emitter module.

    摘要: A memristive device includes a first and a second electrode; a silicon memristive matrix interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and a mobile dopant species within the silicon memristive matrix which moves in response to a programming electrical field and remains substantially in place after the removal of the programming electrical field. A method for using a crossbar architecture containing a silicon memristive matrix includes: applying a programming electrical field by applying a voltage bias across a first conductor and a second conductor; a silicon memristive matrix containing mobile dopants being interposed between the first conductor and the second conductor, the programming voltage repositioning the mobile dopants within the silicon memristive matrix; and reading a state of the silicon memristive matrix by applying a reading energy across the silicon memristive matrix, the reading energy producing a measurable indication of the state of the silicon memristive matrix.
