Laser Spectroscopy of Molecular Electronic Components

几十年来，像计算机存储器这样的电子设备已经变得越来越小，但很快，设备将需要由单个分子构成。单分子的行为与铜导体和硅片非常不同。要了解分子电子器件（如分子线、开关和二极管）的行为，需要在严格可复制的条件下将它们分离出来。我们将以这种方式研究分子电子器件，为澳大利亚在这一领域不断增长的专业知识提供严格的支持。

Electronic devices such as computer memory have been getting smaller and smaller for decades, yet soon devices will need to be constructed from single molecules. Single molecules behave very differently to copper conductors and silicon chips. To understand the behaviour of molecular electronic devices such as molecular wires, switches and diodes, one needs to isolate them under rigorously reproducable conditions. We will study molecular electronic devices in this way, providing rigorous support to Australia's growing expertise in this field.
