Abstract
- This letter reports the synthesis of an organic molecule N,N<superscript>′</superscript>-bis (salicylidene)-1,6-hexanaphthenediamine (BSH) and the study of its electrical properties. Reversible electrical bistable behavior was observed both in BSH organic thin film on indium tin oxide substrate and in a crossbar device fabricated via standard integrated circuit processing with this thin film. The proton transfer model, induced by a bias higher than the switch threshold voltage, was employed to explain the electrical bistable phenomenon. This electrical bistability of BSH molecules is a key property for potential applications in organic nonvolatile memories and programable switches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
