Resistivity, molecular bridge

In addition and importantly, even in non-active junctions, when the electrode Fermi level matches the molecular bridge energy levels, resonance phenomena can generate electrical behaviours similar to those of conventional electronic devices, such as rectification [86-89] and negative differential resistance (NDR) [90, 91]. 

Fig. 21 The variation of the balancing tunneling current of the four branches four electrodes monomolecular Wheatstone bridge connected as presented in (a). In (b), the dashed line is for the current intensity 7W (in absolute value) measured by the ammeter A and deduced from the standard Kirchoff laws calculating each molecular wire tunneling junction resistance of the bridge one after the other from the EHMO-ESQC technique. In (b), Hie full line is the same tunnel current intensity but obtained with the new intramolecular circuit rules discussed in Sect. 2. (c) The resistance of the branch used to balance the bridge as a function of its rotation angle. The minimum accessible resistance by rotation is 78 MQ for the short tolane molecular wire used here...

Synaptic stimulation, ischemia or seizure activates phospholipase A2 and releases arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids 578 Secretory phospholipases A2 are of relatively low molecular weight and have a high number of disulfide bridges, making them relatively more resistant to denaturation 579 There are high-affinity receptors that bind secretory phospholipase A2 579...
