摘要
Asymmetric current-voltage characteristics have resulted from hybrid SAM/LB structures of squaraine dyes in which the donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) molecules are aligned vertically in the self-assembled monolayer and horizontally in the Langmuir-Blodgett film: the separate layers exhibit symmetrical I-V characteristics and the altered behaviour of the hybrid bilayer is attributed to orientation-induced molecular rectification.
