Intellectual MeritThe objective of this research is to investigate a novel nanocomposite material consisting of C60 molecules dispersed in an insulating polymer (polyvinyl phenol or polystyrene) for memory devices. The ease of fabrication and molecular nature (the C60 molecules store the charge) of the devices combine the advantages of organic and molecular electronics. The approach is to thoroughly investigate the fundamental properties of C60/insulating polymer nanocomposites as organic memory materials. In addition, our research will provide insights into the deposition of metal nanowires onto polymer thin films using nanotransfer printing (nTP). Furthermore, information regarding power dissipation by the metal nanowires and impedance in crosspoint architecture organic memory devices will also be obtained. We anticipate that such fundamental knowledge will be essential for the future development of realistic organic memory devices from C60/polymer nanocomposites.The broader impactsThe broader inpacts of the proposed project arise from the development of a fast switching, low power consuming and non-volatile memory which would encourage more standby operations, save energy and extend battery life. The organic memories would also provide instant boot up and faster processing. Complementing the technical plan is the PIs commitment to bringing science and engineering to underrepresented minority students and women. The educational goal of this Career Development Plan has three important objectives: research experience for teachers (RET), NSF summer research experience for undergraduates (REU) program and to develop an Organic Electronics course with a Laboratory module for engineering students.

智力值得这项研究的目的是研究一种新型的纳米复合材料，该材料由分散在绝缘聚合物（聚乙醇苯酚或聚苯乙烯）中的C60分子组成，用于存储器。设备的易于制造和分子性质（C60分子存储电荷）结合了有机和分子电子的优势。该方法是彻底研究C60/绝缘聚合物纳米复合材料作为有机记忆材料的基本特性。此外，我们的研究将提供有关使用纳米转移印刷（NTP）在聚合物薄膜上沉积在聚合物薄膜上的见解。此外，还将获得有关金属纳米线和跨点体系结构中的阻抗功率耗散的信息。我们预计，这种基本知识对于从C60/聚合物纳米复合材料的现实有机存储设备的未来开发至关重要。更广泛的影响源于拟议项目的更广泛的影响是由于快速切换，低功耗和非挥发性记忆的发展而产生的，这将鼓励更多的替代操作，从而延长了耐力的电池寿命，并延长了电池的延长，并延长了电池的延长。有机记忆还将提供即时启动和更快的处理。补充技术计划的是PIS致力于将科学和工程带给代表性不足的少数民族学生和女性。该职业发展计划的教育目标具有三个重要目标：教师的研究经验（RET），NSF夏季研究经验（REU）计划（REU）计划，并使用用于工程学生的实验室模块开发有机电子课程。
