Forrest L. Carter Lecture: Organized Monolayers — Building Blocks in Constructing Supramolecular Devices

  • Chapter
Molecular Electronics

Abstract

I first met Forrest Carter at his second meeting on Molecular Electronic Devices.1 Dr. Carter had brought together a broadly interdisciplinary group of people — computer scientists, biologists, physicists, and chemists — to contribute to a very stimulating meeting. He gave a most enthusiastic view on the future possibilities of molecular switches, molecular computers, and cellular automata. Dr. Carter’s enthusiasm fascinated many scientists. By his ideas on soliton switching and its implications to molecular electronics, preparative chemists were stimulated to new synthetic activities. Dr. Carter’s excitement and his devotion to molecular electronics generated interest in many parts of the world.
