摘要： The present invention is a design paradigm for molecular scale electronic systems wherein electronic information is transmitted and processed, and electronic logic is obtained by changing the electrostatic potential of a molecule. The signal may be restored using an external potential through the underlying substrate. Several convergent synthetic routes are shown to conjugated molecules with various potential electronic device applications including a two-terminal molecular wire with a transport barrier, a molecular wire with two transport barriers, three-terminal junctions, three-terminal structures with switch-like possibilities, and four-terminal systems that could serve as logical gates without the use of multiple transistors. Ab initio computational methods are used to show that (i) molecules can be considered active electronic devices able to transfer the information from one molecule to another, (ii) the electrostatic potential can also be used as a tool to perform logical operations, and (iii) that the molecules synthesized here could perform the functions for which they were designed.

摘要： A molecular computer is formed by establishing arrays of spaced-apart input and output pins on opposing sides of a containment, injecting moleware in solution into the containment and then allowing the moleware to bridge the input and output pins. Moleware includes molecular alligator clip-bearing 2-, 3-, and molecular 4-, or multi-terminal wires, carbon nanotube wires, molecular resonant tunneling diodes, molecular switches, molecular controllers that can be modulated via external electrical or magnetic fields, massive interconnect stations based on single nanometer-sized particles, and dynamic and static random access memory (DRAM and SRAM) components composed of molecular controller/nanoparticle or fullerene hybrids. The current-voltage characteristics that result from the bridging between input and output arrays can be ascertained using another computer to identify the bundles of inputs and corresponding outputs that provide a truth table for the specific functions of the computer.
