Towards Fully Organic Tunnel Junctions

ORAL

Abstract

Quantum mechanical tunneling through ultrathin (25 A) insulating materials has been experimentally verified since the 1950's. Only recently, has tunneling through organic based materials and single molecules occurred from inorganic metallic injectors. We present here our effort focused on fabrication and characterization of an all organic tunnel junction where the injector is a conducting polymer and discuss the subtle difference which stem from polaronic metal.
