Abstract:
Fluorescein sodium, which does not exhibit electrical bistability in thin films, can be switched to a high conducting state by the introduction of carbon nanotubes as channels for carrier transport. Thin films based on fluorescein sodium/carbon nanotubes display memory switching phenomenon among a low conducting state and several high conducting states. Read-only and random-access memory applications between the states resulted in multilevel memory in these systems. Results in thin films and in a monolayer (deposited via layer-by-layer assembly) show that instead of different molecular conformers, multilevel conducting states arise from the different density of high conducting fluorescein molecules.

Semiconductors
Metals such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), or lead (Pb) have low resistivity and feature conduction bands that are either not fully occupied or overlap with the valence band, making a bandgap non-existent. This allows electrons in the highest energy levels of the valence band to easily transition to the conduction band upon gaining...
