The structure includes a first graphene electrode and a molecular monolayer disposed on the first graphene electrode and chemically or physically bound to the first graphene electrode.
Claims19
A structure, comprising:
- a first electrode comprising graphene disposed on a substrate;
- a second electrode comprising graphene disposed substantially parallel to the first electrode and separated in space from the first electrode by a molecular monolayer, wherein the first electrode is chemically or physically bonded with one end of the molecular monolayer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and the second electrode is chemically or physically bonded with other end of the molecular monolayer;
- wherein the molecular monolayer is configured to maintain a voltage applied between the first electrode and the second electrode;
- wherein the molecular monolayer is configured to induce reversible photo-switching between trans- and cis- conformations of the molecular monolayer in response to UV-vis irradiation;
- and wherein the molecular monolayer is formed from an organic molecule comprising an aryl diazonium-based cation.
