I focus on their electronic properties at the nanoscale with the aim to contribute to the fundamental understandings of these systems. Characterization tools to study electron, spin and heat transport properties include various scanning probe microscopes (C-AFM, EFM, STM, SThM, SMM,\u2026) as well as macroscopic soft electrical contact techniques on self-assembled monolayers (Hg, eGaIn contacts). Recent main results include:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 first demonstration of 30 THZ molecular switch devices.<br \/>\n\u2013 first demonstration of a molecular diode operating at 17 GHz (using interferometric scanning microwave microscope);<br \/>\n\u2013 role and determination of the \u03c0-\u03c0 intermolecular interaction energies in molecular junctions;<br \/>\n\u2013 electron transport in molecular devices based on polyoxometalates, peptides, molecular switches (optical, ion,\u2026), Prussian blue analog, assembled on various electrode materials (Si, metal, ferromagnet);<br \/>\n\u2013 thermal transport at the nanoscale (SThM : scanning thermal microscope) of molecular nanostructures and molecular junctions.<\/p>\n<p>On an application-driven perspective, I contributed to the study of self-assembled monolayers (SAM) as: (i) nanodielectric in nano-scale OTFT, (ii) nanodielectric and charge transport layer in SAMFET, (iii) functionalized layers for gas sensors and optimization of organic device performances.

This synapstor works at very low voltages (50 mV), in an electrolyte-gated configuration and it has been interfaced with living biological neurons which made these devices prone for a possible brain\/neurocomputer interface. More recently, a network of OECTs (organic electrochemical transistor) interacting in a common electrolyte was used to demonstrate pattern recognitions in a neuro-inspired \u201creservoir computing\u201dsystem.<\/p>\n<p>We also demonstrated optically-driven switchable logical operations in nanoparticles self-assembled networks of molecular switches (azobenzene derivatives) interconnected by Au nanoparticles. The complex non-linearity of electron transport and dynamics in these highly connected and recurrent networks of molecular junctions are prone for reservoir computing (RC) approaches. These results, without direct analogs in semiconductor devices, open new perspectives to molecular electronics in unconventional computing.<\/p>\n<p>I also contributed to research on inorganic memristors (Ge\u2082Sb\u2082Te\u2085, GeS\u2082) for neuromorphic applications and on Ag\u2082S memristors.
