摘要：

The use of molecules in electronic devices is expected to play a role in the future miniaturization of electronics. A device that uses molecular layers (rather than individual molecules) to control electrical behaviour represents a new approach to ‘molecular electronics’, because control is achieved indirectly without any electrons passing through the molecules.
