Optically readable molecular memory obtained using carbon nanotubes, and method for storing information in said molecular memory

摘要

Described herein is an optically readable memory device (1) comprising a molecular memory (1) obtained using carbon nanotubes (4). In particular, the molecular memory uses, as memory element, a bundle of carbon nanotubes, for which it is possible to obtain at least two stable states by modifying their geometrical configuration and, consequently, their optical transmission properties.
