Polyaniline Nanofiber/Gold Nanoparticle Nonvolatile Memory

Tseng, Ricky J., Huang, Jiaxing, Ouyang, Jianyong, Kaner, Richard B., Yang·2005·Nano Letters

Abstract

A nonvolatile plastic digital memory device based on nanofibers of the conjugated polymer polyaniline decorated with gold nanoparticles is reported. The device has a simple structure consisting of the plastic composite film sandwiched between two electrodes. An external bias is used to program the ON and OFF states of the device that are separated by a 3-orders-of-magnitude difference in conductivity. ON-OFF switching times of less than 25 ns are observed by electrical pulse measurements. The devices possess prolonged retention times of several days after they have been programmed. Write-read-erase cycles are also demonstrated. The switching mechanism is attributed to an electric-field-induced charge transfer from the polyaniline nanofibers to the gold nanoparticles. The active polymer layer is created by growing nanometer size gold particles within 30-nm-diameter polyaniline nanofibers using a redox reaction with chloroauric acid. This device combines two exciting research areas--nanoparticles and conducting polymers--to form a novel materials system with unique functionality.

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.
