Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates that junction scale affects rectification magnitude and reliability in molecular diodes, suggesting design implications.

Key Points

  • The research aims to understand how junction scale impacts the rectification capabilities of molecular diodes.
  • Mapped rectification across single-molecule, small-area, and large-area junction scales.
  • Analyzed performance using a single family of molecular diodes, SCnBIPY.
  • Quantified the fraction of junctions showing significant rectification.
  • Long-chain SC11BIPY displayed substantial rectification (|r| ≈ 102) in large-area junctions.
  • Shorter molecular analogues showed minimal rectification at ensemble scales but recovered notable performance in single-molecule tests (|r| ≈ 50–70).
  • Junction scale significantly influenced both the magnitude and reliability of rectification, indicated by an estimated probability of working junctions.
