Mixed Monolayer of Ru complex and Ligand
• Ligand used to prop-up the larger bulkier Ru complex.
• Reasonable packing density.

Conclusion
14
Increase in Current Density in Metal-Mol-Semi conductor structures over Metal-Semiconductor structures. I-V relationship can be modeled on TE and TFE equations. Possible Mechanisms:
ODT: modest barrier height, low D(Ef)
Ru: low barrier height, large D(Ef)
