All-Carbon Molecular Electronics: From Flexible Fabrication to Multi-Step Transport and Molecular Optoelectronics
DownloadSpring 2018
The central idea of molecular electronics is to incorporate individual or ensemble molecules into the electronic circuit units in the hope of creating miniaturized functional devices with unique properties. This dissertation aims to present my efforts to pursue this ultimate goal, covering the...

Layer-by-layer assembly of multilayers on carbon surfaces and molecular electronic junctions
DownloadSpring 2010
In the research described in this thesis, two molecular layers were successfully anchored on carbon surfaces (pyrolyzed photoresist films, PPFs) sequentially through two independent approaches. The first molecular layer, styrene, was covalently bonded on PPF surfaces via the method of reduction...
