摘要:
An organic field-effect transistor and a method of making the same include a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of bifunctional molecules disposed between a pair of electrodes as a channel material. The pair of electrodes and the SAM of bifunctional molecules are formed above an insulating layer, in which each of the bifunctional molecules comprises a functionality at a first end that covalently bonds to the insulating layer, and an end-cap functionality at a second end that includes a conjugated bond. The SAM of bifunctional molecules may be polymerized SAM to form a conjugated polymer strand extending between the pair of electrodes.

The present invention describes organic solvent-soluble Diels-Alder adducts of polycyclic aromatic compounds, such as, oligothiophene, perylene, benzo[ghi]perylene, coronene and polyacenes, with variety of dienophiles containing at least one heteroatom and in some cases two heteroatoms bonded to aromatic moiety, such as, thioxomalonates, azodicarboxylates, thialdehyde, acylnitroso and N-sulfinylamides. The Diels-Alder adducts are prepared by a simple, one step cycloaddition reaction of the polycyclic aromatic compounds, such as, pentacene, or other fused aromatic compounds, with heterodienophiles. The Diels-Alder adducts according to the present invention all form soluble adducts with pentacene and can be converted back to pentacene by retro-Diels-Alder reaction at moderate (60-250° C.) temperatures both in bulk, in solution or as thin-films.

A nanodevice includes a reservoir filled with conductive fluid and a membrane separating the reservoir. A nanopore is formed through the membrane having electrode layers separated by insulating layers. A certain electrode layer has a first type of organic coating and a pair of electrode layers has a second type. The first type of organic coating forms a motion control transient bond to a molecule in the nanopore for motion control, and the second type forms first and second transient bonds to different bonding sites of a base of the molecule. When a voltage is applied to the pair of electrode layers a tunneling current is generated by the base in the nanopore, and the tunneling current travels via the first and second transient bonds formed to be measured as a current signature for distinguishing the base. The motion control transient bond is stronger than first and second transient bonds.
摘要:
A process comprises combining a Ce (IV) salt with a carbon material comprising CNT or graphene wherein the Ce (IV) salt is selected from a Ce (IV) ammonium salt of a nitrogen oxide acid and is dissolved in a solvent comprising water. The process is conducted under conditions to substantially oxidize the carbon material to produce an oxidized material that is substantially non-conducting. After the oxidation, the Ce (IV) is substantially removed from the oxidized material. This produces a product made by the process. An article of manufacture comprises the product on a substrate. The oxidized material can be formed as a pattern on the substrate. In another embodiment the substrate comprises an electronic device with the oxidized material patterning non-conductive areas separate from conductive areas of the non-oxidized carbon material, where the conductive areas are operatively associated with the device.

A membrane separates the reservoir, and the membrane includes electrode layers separated by insulating layers in which the electrode layers have an organic coating. A nanopore is formed through the membrane, and the organic coating on the electrode layers forms transient bonds to a base of a molecule in the nanopore. When a first voltage is applied to the electrode layers a tunneling current is generated by the base in the nanopore, and the tunneling current travels through the transient bonds formed to the base to be measured as a current signature for distinguishing the base.
