“…Our measured CuPc work function is ≈5 eV, which is compatible with the value obtained for metal-phthalocyanine thin films. [51] This agreement suggests that the Au/CuPc heterostructure should exhibit Ohmic charge carrier injection since holes play a major role in charge transport, [37] and no Schottky barrier for holes is expected.…”

“…[18] We attribute such a minor rectification to the slight differences between interfaces since the top contact is established in an aqueous solution after the CuPc film deposition. [37] As the variation of rectification ratio does not imply any diode-like behavior, we evaluate the devices for V > 0 without losing generality.…”

“…The option for studying phthalocyanine-based films in a-few-nanometer range relies on the prototypical features that such a metal/π-conjugated hybrid system displays toward electrochemistry and organic-electronics recent advances. [1,5,34] The electrodes and CuPc films are integrated in the molecular devices by means of the self-rolling nanomembrane technology. [35][36][37] Our AFM-KPFM methodology provides the means to explain the ultrathin M/CuPc/Au diode's electronic properties in a more realistic fashion, allowing us to evaluate each device interface in practice.…”

“…Research in low-dimensional electronics is currently blooming and has long been conducted, since the early proposal by Aviram and Ratner, aiming at the development of new technologies, where quantum effects really become important . At the present stage, single molecules and nanostructured materials have been proposed and employed as tiny electronic circuit components to build nanodevices. ,, In this bottom-up design, diodes based on a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) have been realized and demonstrated to form efficient devices with high rectifier factors (rectification ratios), useful for the development of ultralow power electronics at the nanoscale. Moreover, SWCNT-based diode devices are tunable by controlling gate voltages and can operate as ambipolar field-effect transistors. , Despite the success of SWCNTs utilized in nanoelectronic devices, they can be susceptible to thermal degradation and fracturing of the contact even at low applied voltages. , …”
