Bipolar resistive switching using organic molecule is very promising for memory application owing to their advantages like simple device structure, low manufacturing cost, stability and flexibility etc. Herein we report Langmuir-Blodgett spin-coated film based bipolar devices material indole derivative. Pressure - area per isotherm, Brewster Angle Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy Scanning El...

Chitosan (1) was reacted with phenylisothiocyanate in 5% AcOH/H2O to give N-phenylthiocarbamoyl chitosan (2) with a degree of substitution (DS) of N-phenylthiocarbamoyl groups of 0.86 in 87.1% yield. The following acylation of compound 2 with hexanoyl chloride in the presence of pyridine afforded 3,6-di-O-2,3-hexanoyl chitosan isothiocyanate (4a) with a DS of the isothiocyanate groups of 0.70 i...

Non-centrosymmetric Z-type Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films were prepared by transferring a calix[4] acid monolayer from a subphase of Millipore water (18 Momegacm(-1)) onto aluminised glass substrates. Electrical measurements were performed at room temperature on LB films with a sandwich structure comprising a 50 nm thick thermally evaporated aluminium film. A pyroelectric figure of merit of 2.23 ...

Introduction Graphene oxide is the liquid oxidation of graphite powder, and consists of a single atomic carbon network derivitized by phenol hydroxyl and epoxide groups on the basal plane and carboxylic acid groups at the edges[1, 2]. The chemical functionalization breaks the extended π−π conjugation of graphene, resulting in an insulating material. However the conductivity may be partially res...

The Langmuir-Blodgett technique has been used to assemble one-dimensional nanoscale building blocks. Various superstructures can be obtained as a result of different interactions between the individual nanostructures and different surface pressure applied. The general assembly behavior is exemplified here with BaCrO4, BaWO4, Au nanorods, and Mo3Se3 nanowires.

Heterodyne-detected (phase-sensitive) vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy was used to investigate molecular structures of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) monolayers on water (Langmuir monolayer) and monolayers on a fused silica substrate (Langmuir-Blodgett [LB] monolayer). The spectral features in the CH stretching region depended on the phase of the Langmuir mo...
