Revealing the Effect of Crystalline Self-Assembled Monolayer in Biomimetic Photosynapse with Ultraviolet Light Protection Capability.

ABSTRACT: The research on photonic synapses holds immense promise for various applications, such as robotics and artificial intelligence. Pursuing lightweight, miniaturized, and low-energy consumption designs is crucial for enhancing efficiency and adaptability in evolving technological environments. To achieve this goal, this work designs a series of conjugated self-assembled molecules with photoactive pyrene, benzo-naphthol-thiophene (BNT), perylene, and benzothieno-benzothiophene cores to develop ultrathin (<3 nm) charge-trapping self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The highly crystalline BNT forms an orderly arrangement with the semiconducting channel, further exhibiting distinguished current contrast stability (∼10⁸) and synaptic features, including paired-pulse facilitation (153%), ult
