achieve control of the composition along the nanowhisker axis at an atomic level as in MBE, we require a better understanding of the growth process. However, these trials should be important for applications of nanowhiskers to various devices, for example, quantum dot optoelectronic devices ["] or s

β¦ Synopsis
A few-monolayer zwitterionic, non-centrosymmetric Langmuir-Blodgett film has been sandwiched between two electrodes, one of which is transparent. Curves of dark current density as a function of applied bias were observed to exhibit rectifier-like behaviour and to follow closely the dependences measured from junctions using two metallic electrodes. The transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode discussed here permitted illumination of the organic film during electrical characterisation and it was observed that the electrical behaviour was altered from the dark state. Illumination has the effect of generating a photocurrent even when no bias is applied to the electrodes; in addition, the junction conductance was increased.
