Abstract :
A simple electronic pulse generator based on an organic switch, a device made of poly(5-amino-1-naphthol) between silver contacts is demonstrated. Under a constant applied voltage the circuit oscillates, producing current pulses at a frequency that can be controlled, depending on the resistance and capacitance of circuit elements.
