Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on using nanoscale hybrid structures made from organic and inorganic materials to create advanced electronic devices.
- The study reveals how ultrathin organic semiconductor films, specifically metal phthalocyanines, exhibit dielectrical polarization that varies with temperature and depends on their molecular structure.
- These findings provide insights into the design and performance of new devices like solar cells and logic gates by understanding the properties of these hybrid materials in electronic applications.
Memristors (MRs) are considered promising devices with the enormous potential to replace complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, which approaches the scale limit. Efforts to fabricate MRs-based hybrid materials may result in suitable operating parameters coupled to high mechanical flexibility and low cost. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) arise as a favorable candidate to cover such demands.

One persistent challenge, however, is the exploitation of the electronic properties of molecules fully integrated into devices. Typically, the molecular electronic properties are investigated using sophisticated techniques incompatible with a practical device technology, such as the scanning tunneling microscopy.
