A Study on the Monolayer Film Electronics

단분자막 전자소자에 대한 연구

The N-docosyl N'-methyl viologen-$(TCNQ)_2$, (DMVT) was synthesized. We investigated the ${\pi}-A$ isotherm of DMVT to find the optimal deposition condition. Temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics of the DMVT LB films shows that there is an increase in conductivity at 330K or so. The in-plane electrical conductivity at room temperature is in the range of $10^{-7}{\sim}10^{-6}S/cm$. From the plot of logarithmic conductivity as a function of reciprocal temperature, two types of activation energies, 0.04eV and 0.73eV, were obtained depending on the temperature range. The Ohmic behaviour was observed below 0.6V and the Schottky effect was confirmed at $2.5{\sim}6V$, when the I-V characteristics was measured with Al/LB film/Al structure. I-V measurement for Al/LB film/ITO structure showed the asymmetrical I-V relationship, which resulted from the rectification property.
