Abstract

Three organic small molecules with alkyl chains of different lengths based on an azobenzene scaffold were designed and synthesized. The indium-tin oxide (ITO)–Azo–Al sandwich memory devices showed write-once-read-many-times (WORM) characteristics. The switch threshold voltage of Azo-based memory devices significantly decreased as the end-capping alkyl chain extends, which is totally consistent with the AFM and X-ray diffraction results that the thin films showed smoother morphologies and closer intermolecular packing with the molecular alkyl-chain length prolonging. These results demonstrated that variation in the alkyl-chain length at the end of the conjugated molecules is a powerful strategy for tuning film microstructure and intermolecular packing to enable high performance of the fabricated sandwiched devices.

To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
