摘要
Negative differential-resistance (NDR) molecular device is realized involving two C-60 molecules, one is adsorbed on the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope and the other is on the surface of the hexanethiol self-assembled monolayer. The narrow local density of states features near the Fermi energy of the C-60 molecules lead to the obvious NDR effect. Such controllable tunneling structure and the associated known electronic states ensure the stability and reproducibility of the NDR device. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
