Device Arrays: Mass‐Production of Single‐Crystalline Device Arrays of an Organic Charge‐Transfer Complex for its Memory Nature (Small 4/2012)

Abstract

The cover image shows organic single-crystalline devices and device arrays, which are challenging to fabricate in situ. Single-crystalline lamellae of a charge-transfer complex, copper 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (CuTCNQ), are synthesized in a controlled manner, and devices and device arrays of the lamellae based on symmetrical gold electrodes are efficiently mass-produced in situ. All the devices exhibit promising semiconductor properties, which are important for understanding the switching nature of the material. Moreover, the in situ fabrication of the single-crystalline devices and device arrays are attractive for the field of organic electronics, and they open up prospects for large-scale production of high-quality organic devices and circuits.

Hu, and co-workers, beginning on page 557.
