Abstract:
Memory devices with sandwiched structures were fabricated by electrochemical deposition of the active layers onto indium tin oxide substrates. The active layers with thicknesses of 240-280 nm were composed of poly(3-hexylthiohene) and gold nanoparticles (GNPs), in which the GNP content was around 9 wt %. The devices exhibited an on/off conductivity ratio of 103 and can be read for over 104 times without a distinct performance decrease even after being stored in air without packing for over 1 month.
