A team led by Latha Venkataraman, professor of applied physics and chemistry at Columbia Engineeringand Xavier Roy, assistant professor of chemistry (Arts & Sciences), published a study (DOI 10.1038 / nnano.2017.156) today in Nature Nanotechnology that is the first to reproducibly demonstrate
current blockade — the ability to switch a device from the insulating to the conducting state where charge is added and removed one electron at a time — using atomically precise molecular clusters at room temperature.
The study is titled, «Room - temperature
current blockade in atomically defined single - cluster junctions.»
