| Abstract: | Redox active molecular junctions have shown potential to achieve neuromorphic computing architecture which circumvents the von Neumann bottleneck, delivering memory and rectification properties. Here, to address the limited switching speed and humidity dependence of such molecular switches, the integration of a proton donor in the junction was attempted. However, this was plagued by stability issues regarding the thiol based molecules and their self-assembled monolayers. Therefore, a fullerene and glycol ether based system was investigated, resulting in a system with similar hysteretic properties, high junction yields (89.7%), rectification ratios of 2*10^3. Additionally, the stability of PTEG-1 monolayers and the HATNA-TEG molecules suggests these assemblies could retain functionality in ambient conditions for extended periods of time. |
