Abstract

We investigated the electrical properties of self-assembled (4,4'-Di(ethynylphenyl)-2'-nitro-1-thioacetylbenzene), which has been well known as a conducting molecule having possible application to molecular level negative differential resistance(NDR)[1]. Generally, the phenomenon of NDR can be characterized by the decreasing current with the increasing voltage[2]. To deposit the SAM layer onto gold electrode, we transfer the prefabricated nanopores into a 1mM self-assembly molecules in THF solution. Au(111) substrates were prepared by ion beam sputtering method of gold onto the silicon wafer. As a result, we measured the voltage-current properties and confirmed the negative differential resistance properties of self-assembled organic thin film and measured, using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy(STM).
