A ternary memory module using low-voltage control over optical properties of metal-polypyridyl monolayers

Abstract

A ternary memory module has been designed as a function of precise voltage command. The monolayer based module displays perpetual stability and non-hysteretic reversibility for multiple scans (10(2)). Ternary-state readout provides a vision to integrate the next generation of "smart electro-optical devices" viable for multi-state memory.
