Illuminating Molecular Electronic Rectification

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to develop molecular rectifiers incorporating organometallic complexes for future electronics applications. The organometallic molecules will be an integral part of the electronic device to ameliorate the technological problems arising from miniaturisation of semiconductors. Expected outcomes are a new approach to molecular designs that provide a rectifying response in single molecules and large area molecular junctions. This should build manufacturing capacity in Australia and enhance international collaboration and reputation by addressing significant challenges in molecular electronics. Benefits arising include skilled researchers, internationalisation of Australian research and contributions to fundamental science.
