Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights the significance of molecular polarizability in charge transport for molecular electronics, alongside known factors like size and charge.
- - Researchers synthesized platinum nanoparticle self-assemblies with polyoxometalates, adjusting the POM's charge while maintaining constant size, to explore their impact on charge transport.
- - Conductive AFM measurements revealed that as the dielectric constant of the POMs increased, the Coulomb blockade decreased, indicating that charge transport in these junctions is influenced by variations in polarizability.
A main goal of molecular electronics is to relate the performance of devices to the structure and electronic state of molecules. Among the variety of possibilities that organic, organometallic and coordination chemistries offer to tune the energy levels of molecular components, spin crossover phenomenon is a perfect candidate for elaboration of molecular switches. The reorganization of the electronic state population of the molecules associated to the spin crossover can indeed lead to a significant change in conductivity.
