Abstract
, attributed to its LUMO energy level being close to the Fermi level of the gold electrode. Moreover, we found that neutral F4TCNQ can be gradually reduced to radical anions under a relatively low bias voltage of 100 mV. These results will advance the development of organic optoelectronic devices and molecule electronics.
