Abstract
This paper describes a molecular diode with high, statistically robust, rectification ratios R of 1.1 × 10(3). These diodes operate with a new mechanism of charge transport based on sequential tunneling involving both the HOMO and HOMO-1 positioned asymmetrically inside the junction. In addition, the diodes are stable and withstand voltage cycling for 1500 times, and the yield in working junctions is 90%.
