抄録

We have proposed a gold nanoparticle (GNP)-based single-electron transistor (SET) doped with a dye molecule, where the molecule works as a photoresponsive floating gate. Here, we examined the source–drain current ( <?CDATA $I_{\text{SD}}$?> <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="MB13008if001.gif" xlink:type="simple" /> ) at a constant drain voltage under light irradiation with various wavelengths ranging from 400 to 700 nm. Current change was enhanced at the wavelengths of 600 and 700 nm, corresponding to the optical absorption band of the doped molecule (copper phthalocyanine: CuPc). Moreover, several peaks appear in the histograms of <?CDATA $I_{\text{SD}}$?> <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="MB13008if002.gif" xlink:type="simple" /> during light irradiation, indicating that multiple discrete states were induced in the device. The results suggest that the current change was initiated by the light absorption of CuPc and multiple CuPc molecules near the GNP working as a floating gate. Molecular doping can activate advanced device functions in GNP-based SETs.
