Molecular Electronics. Synthesis and Testing of Components

Tour, James M.·2000·Accounts of Chemical Research

Abstract

Molecular electronics involves the use of single or small packets of molecules as the fundamental units for computing. While initial targets are the substitution of solid-state wires and devices with molecules, long-range goals involve the development of novel addressable electronic properties from molecules. A comparison of traditional solid-state devices to molecular systems is described. Issues of cost and ease of manufacture are outlined, along with the syntheses and testing of molecular wires and devices.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
