Our research program focuses on molecular electronics, an exciting field of research due to the potential of these devices to surmount the scaling limits of conventional semiconductor technology. A molecular electronic device is one in which at least one of the device dimensions is the thickness of one molecule. As yet, there are no commercially successful molecular electronic devices; work in molecular electronics is in the fundamental research stage. Our research program uses a molecular junction test structure to investigate how molecules transport electrons. We design and synthesize new molecules with specific chemical properties that will produce desired electronic function. Our fundamental studies then correlate the chemical structure to the electrical function. Ultimately, our research program aims to produce useful molecular wires and switches for use in practical molecular electronic devices.

我们的研究计划着重于分子电子学，这是一个令人兴奋的研究领域，因为这些设备的潜力超出了传统半导体技术的缩放限制。一个分子电子设备是一种设备尺寸之一是一个分子的厚度。到目前为止，还没有商业上成功的分子电子设备。分子电子中的工作处于基本研究阶段。我们的研究计划使用分子连接测试结构来研究分子如何传输电子。我们设计并合成具有特定化学特性的新分子，这些特性将产生所需的电子功能。然后，我们的基本研究将化学结构与电函数相关。最终，我们的研究计划旨在生产有用的分子电线和开关，用于实用分子电子设备。
