Abstract

Thin films and nanowires based on an organometallic material Ag-TCNQ were prepared. Electrical properties of Ag-TCNQ thin film were investigated at the nanoscale using a scanning tunneling microscope and electrical memory effect was observed. Nanodevices based on Ag-TCNQ nanowire were fabricated using electron beam lithography technique. Their I-V characteristics show similar electrical memory effect as the thin film but with much higher switching voltage threshold and resistance change ratio. Ag-TCNQ nanowires hold high potential for ultra-high density information storage and switching devices.
