“…Later on, upon increasing the temperature from 300 to 400 K, both in-plane and cross-plane modes, we realized a significant change in the resistance value for the thin film of Cu-TCNQ; and, interestingly, no change in the resistance value for the thin film of Cu-BTC (BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) 50 . Therefore, it is the intrinsic property of the material, for example, Mott-type (Cu-TCNQ) or band-type (Cu-BTC) insulator 46 , 51 , which played a more important role than the influence of the interfaces. In the present study, successful capture of the IMLT for the Cu(Cys) 2 thin film (thickness ~1.2 μm) in both cross-plane and in-plane modes (consistent change in the resistance by 10 10 fold) clearly endorses that it is not primarily an interface effect.…”
