An electrically actuated molecular toggle switch [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Abstract Molecular electronics is considered a promising approach for future nanoelectronic devices. In order that molecular junctions can be used as electrical switches or even memory devices, they need to be actuated between two distinct conductance states in a controlled and reproducible manner by external stimuli.
