Realization of Nonvolatile Memory Devices Using Small Organic Molecules and Polymer

Intensive research is currently underway to exploit the highly interesting properties of nano-sized particles and organic molecules, for applications in the optical and electronic sectors. Recently, it has been shown that nano-sized particles and small molecules can be used in polymer matrices to realize memory devices. Such memory devices are simple to fabricate, relying typically on the spin on technique. In this work, an attempt is made to utilize small organic molecules embedded in an organic polymer, in the making of the presented memory devices. The ever elusive charging mechanism in such configurations, is also discussed
