Abstract

Langmuir–Shaefer films of a polyaniline–gold nanoparticle composite were fabricated and characterized. The thickness of each deposited monolayer, determined with AFM, was found to be about 0.8 nm. The film morphology was studied by SEM, revealing the presence of embedded spherical-shaped gold nanoparticles of about 5–10 nm in diameter. The fabricated films were used as the active channel of the organic memristor. Its electric characterisation has revealed new phenomena, such as an increased working voltage range and sigmoidal voltage current characteristics that were connected to the charge trapping.
