Abstract:
1. A functional molecular device comprising: a plural number of gates connected together; each of said gates being formed by a channel part, formed of a compound having a π electron conjugated system changed by changes in a molecular structure induced by an electrical field, electrical field applying means for applying said electrical field, and output means for taking out an output corresponding to said electrical field through said channel part, said gates displaying respective different electrical characteristics by said electrical field, wherein said channel part includes a molecule exhibiting dielectric constant anisotropy and/or dipole moment, a metal ion and a molecule of the conjugated system, said metal ion, said molecule exhibiting dielectric constant anisotropy and/or dipole moment, and said molecule of the conjugated system form a complex, said electrical field applying means applying an electrical field to said molecule exhibiting dielectric constant anisotropy and/or dipole moment; and input means being for said molecule of the conjugated system.
