Abstract
A molecular device is provided. The molecular device comprises a junction formed by a pair of crossed electrodes where a first electrode is crossed by a second electrode at a non-zero angle and at least one connector species including at least one switchable moiety and connecting the pair of crossed electrode in the junction. The junction has a functional dimension ranging in size from microns to nanometers. The molecular device further includes a buffer layer comprising nanocrystals interposed between the connector species and the second electrode.
