摘要
dThe current-voltage characteristics of sandwich devices with the structure of top gold electrode/squarylium-dye Langmuir-Blodgett (SQ LB) films/bottom aluminum electrode indicated four kinds of conductivity depending on the evaporation conditions of the top gold electrode, The current densities of two, which showed conductance switching, of the four samples were 30-40 muA/cm(2) and 20-30 mA/cm(2) in the ON state. In the former case. the dependence of conductance switching voltage on the number of SQ LB films and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra were studied. The results revealed that conductance switching phenomena were induced at the interface between the top gold electrode and SQ LB films, and caused by the presence of H-like aggregates in SQ LB films.
