Abstract

Single-molecule logic gates have the potential to fundamentally revolutionize computer architecture. However, performing any type of logic function within a single molecule requires using external inputs to modify one or more of the intrinsic properties of the molecule, such as its geometrical conformation, electronic structure, or spin configuration. In this chapter, we will discuss the variety of different physical mechanisms which have been proposed to induce and control such changes, ranging from applied potential bias and electric fields to chemical interactions to mechanical pressure, focusing in particular on their suitability for use in single-molecule logic circuitry.
