Abstract :
Molecular electronics can be developed if we are able to program a random arrangement of molecules or a field programmable molecular random array. The ansatz that small molecules can be programmed needs to be demonstrated, that means characterizing the smallest molecular system with programmable features. Current programs for the calculation of current-voltage characteristics of electronic circuits, needed for such demonstrations, are only able to predict single-valued characteristics. We present a procedure to incorporate our molecular physics procedures with a practical analysis of molecular circuits having strong non linearities.
