Molecular Electronics - Electrical properties of self-assembled films (Paperback)

This publication provides an overview of a rapidly growing field of molecular electronics. It comprises an introduction to theoretical concepts, experimental approaches and techniques. The use of spontaneous self-assembly is to overcome the obstacles associated with miniaturisation threshold of conventional material technologies. The attractiveness of self-assembly arises from the ease of fabrication of energetically stable, well-ordered films that mimic macroscopic material's properties at the molecular level.
