Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Bottom-up preparation of ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) was succeeded at nanometer-precision for developing memory devices including resistive nonvolatile memories and spin-valves, etc. First, ferroelectric PVDF/semiconductive polythiophene hybrid monolayers were successfully fabricated at varying blend ratios from the Langmuir-Blodgett method. The PVDF matrix in the hybrid nanosheets contains almost 100% ferroelectric phase. Ferroelectric non-volatile memories were realized owing to the ferroelectricity-manipulated resistive switching. On the other hand, the PVDF LB nanosheets were applied as insulator tunnel layer in spin valves of Co/PVDF/Fe3O4. It is noteworthy that the magnetoresistance (MR) effect was even observed at 300 K with a MR ratio exceeding 2.5%, which is achieved for the first time in such organic devices. Therefore, the ferroelectric PVDF hybrid nanosheets are promising candidates for various organic electronics with outstanding performance.
