Molecular cluster based nanoelectronics
The use of molecular clusters as a basis of molecular single-electronic systems is considered experimentally and theoretically. The LangmuirBlodgett formation and scanning tunneling microscope study of structures with chemically different cluster molecules is described. IV curves and control curves of molecular single-electron transistors based on various single molecules were studied at room temperature. Comparison of experimental IV curves with simulated ones allows us to identify a regime of slow energy relaxation of electrons in experimental transistors. Experimental study of electron transport through the planar molecular nanosystems has shown a correlated character of electron tunneling in such systems.
