A Memristive Element Based on an Electrically Controlled Single-Molecule Reaction

• A single-molecule memory element is electrically-controlled using two distinct reaction mechanisms as reported by K. Moth-Poulsen, J. Hihath, and co-workers (DOI:10.1002/anie.202002300). By using separate electrically-controllable reactions for the forward and reverse reactions the bistable norbornadiene-quadricyclane system can be set in either state. The device can be switched through multiple cycles when a square-wave voltage signal is applied to the molecule. Each state has a unique conductance value allowing the system to act as a switch or memory device.
