Abstract:
1. An organic molecular memory comprising: a first conductive layer; a second conductive layer; and an organic molecular layer provided between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, the organic molecular layer includes an organic molecule selected from a group of molecules that satisfy the following conditions (I) and (II), the organic molecule has a molecular frame with a π-electron system spreading along the molecular axis: (I) one of a highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and a lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is delocalized along a molecular axis, and the other one is localized with respect to the molecular axis; and (II) a value of an energy level of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is −5.75 eV or higher.
