AbstractCuTCNQ (TCNQ=7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) is a resistive switching charge-transfer complex which can be used for organic nonvolatile memories. In this contribution we report on a thorough investigation of the electrical switching of CuTCNQ memories. Our memories currently achieve an endurance of up to 10000 write/erase cycles with a clear distinction between ON and OFF reading currents. ON and OFF threshold voltages follow a Gaussian distribution. Temperature dependent measurements of CuTCNQ based organic memories show a semiconductor like behavior for the ON state. The retention time of the ON state exceeded 60 hours at room temperature. Electrical switching of CuTCNQ memories in air was virtually not affected by temperatures up to 80°C, but becomes erratic at 120°C. The CuTCNQ material itself already starts to decompose around 200°C in presence of oxygen as shown by thermogravimetric analysis.

Single crystals of the perylene–fluoranil charge-transfer complex were found to be photoconductive throughout the near ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared spectral regions. The temperature dependence of the semiconduction and photoconduction are characterized by apparent activation energies of 0.73 ev and 0.12 ev, respectively. Conductivity parallel to the c-crystallographic axis (along which the complex units are stacked in columns) was found to be about threefold greater than that in the perpendicular direction. Attempts to measure carrier mobilities proved unsuccessful. The results suggest extrinsic carrier generation accompanied by pronounced carrier trapping processes.

κ-ET2Cu[N(CN)2]I (ET = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene) has previously been reported as both a superconductor and an insulator. Examination of each single crystal revealed that the electrical properties are governed by slight differences...
