AbstractA straightforward ambient temperature route to the fabrication of surface silver-metallized polyimide films is described. Silver(I) trifluoromethane sulfonate and a polyimide, derived from 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA) and an equimolar amount of 4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA) and 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA), were dissolved together in dimethylacetamide. Silver(I)-doped films were prepared at thicknesses of 25-50 microns and depleted of solvent by evaporation. The silver(I)-containing films were then treated with aqueous reducing agents, which brought forth silvered films exhibiting conductivity on the order of bulk polycrystalline silver and good specular reflectivity.

AbstractWe report the electrical detection of captured gases through measurement of the quantum tunneling characteristics of gas-mediated molecular junctions formed across nanogaps. The gas-sensing nanogap device consists of a pair of vertically stacked gold electrodes separated by an insulating 6 nm spacer (~1.5 nm of sputtered α-Si and ~4.5 nm ALD SiO2), which is notched ~10 nm into the stack between the gold electrodes. The exposed gold surface is functionalized with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of conjugated thiol linker molecules. When the device is exposed to a target gas (1,5-diaminopentane), the SAM layer electrostatically captures the target gas molecules, forming a molecular bridge across the nanogap. The gas capture lowers the barrier potential for electron tunneling across the notched edge region, from ~5 eV to ~0.9 eV and establishes additional conducting paths for charge transport between the gold electrodes, leading to a substantial decrease in junction resistance. We demonstrated an output resistance change of >108 times upon exposure to 80 ppm diamine target gas as well as ultralow standby power consumption of <15 pW, confirming electron tunneling through molecular bridges for ultralow-power gas sensing.
