Nonvolatile memory devices based on hybrid inorganic/organic nanocomposites have emerged as excellent candidates for promising applications in next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices. Among the various types of nonvolatile memory devices, organic bistable devices fabricated utilizing hybrid organic/inorganic nanocomposites have currently been receiving broad attention because of their excellent performance with high-mechanical flexibility, simple fabrication and low cost. The prospect of potential applications of nonvolatile memory devices fabricated utilizing hybrid nanocomposites has led to substantial research and development efforts to form various kinds of nanocomposites by using various methods. Generally, hybrid inorganic/organic nanocomposites are composed of organic layers containing metal nanoparticles, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), core-shell semiconductor QDs, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene molecules or graphene oxides (GOs). This review article describes investigations of and developments in nonvolatile memory devices based on hybrid inorganic/organic nanocomposites over the past 5 years. The device structure, fabrication and electrical characteristics of nonvolatile memory devices are discussed, and the switching and carrier transport mechanisms in the hybrid nonvolatile memory devices are reviewed. Furthermore, various flexible memory devices fabricated utilizing hybrid nanocomposites are described and their future prospects are discussed.

In this paper, the performance of a pentacene-based write once/read many memory device is reported. The IV characteristics of a pentacene device deposited at 5Å/s on an ITO-coated glass substrate was studied. This device showed a stable switching from ON to OFF state with an ON-OFF current ratio of nearly 10 3 and a retention time of 5 × 10 4 s with a switching threshold voltage of 3.9 V. The irreversible switching of this device makes it suitable for write once/read many memory devices. The structural studies of pentacene thin films on glass substrate were also done and the dependence of device performance on grain size is reported. Improved performance of this device due to the addition of C 60 layer is also discussed.

“…In the last two decades, π-conjugated polymers have attracted considerable interests because of their potential applications in electrochromics [1][2][3][4], light emitting diodes [5][6][7][8][9], organic thin film transistors [10][11][12][13][14], photovoltaic [15][16][17][18], and polymer memory [19,20]. Fluorine and its analogous derivatives have drawn much attention in optoelectronics because they generally have good solubility, high luminescent efficiency, and very good charge carrier mobility [21][22][23][24].…”

Abstract. The photoelectric characteristics and paramagnetic properties of newly synthesized polyimides (PI) have been investigated using the electrophotographic method and an ESR signal study. The polyimides based on N,N,N',N'-substituted p-phenylenediamine and dianhydrides, were prepared via polycondensation. The polymers exhibit excellent solubility in common organic solvents, and have high thermal stability. The PI films exhibit photoelectric sensitivity in the UV, and visible spectral regions. The mechanism of photogeneration has been investigated. Paramagnetism of the air stored PI samples has been determined by the air oxidized PI donor fragments (stable radicals). PI ESR spectra in a solid state and solution have been investigated as well as the effect of light excitation on those spectra.
