▲ [21a-231C-3] Signal Dynamics from Single Molecule Junction of Cyclo[8]pyrrole-SiW12O40 Complex
Keywords:polyoxometalate, real-time current, hidden Markov model
Recently we have reported a molecular neuromorphic network device consisting of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) complexed with polyoxometalate (POM).[1] In the previous work we postulated multi-molecule network is indispensable for spiking dynamics, which can be used for rudimentary computing such as reservoir computing. Here we studied single molecule electronic dynamics of POM derivatives reported by Okujima and co-workers (Cyclo[8]pyrrole-SiW12O40, POM-de-ring),[2] in which cyclo[8]pyrrole work as an anchoring group for single molecule junction.[3]
Current versus time traces of a single POM-de-Ring junction at a constant bias voltage were measured using mechanically controllable break junction technique. Time traces with large spike currents were observed with the high/low ratio ~103. We also acquired time traces at several different bias voltages and temperatures. Hidden Markov model analyses with multi-level of conductance states show that the signals are not random and show clear dynamics.
