molecular electronics

Molecular electronics is the branch of nanotechnology which deals with the applications and construction of nano building

blocks that are used in electronic circuit manufacturing and desgin.It is sometimes called as moletronics.All the major

electronic fabrications are supported by molecular electronics.
The concept of molecular electronics is not new  in th field of technology and science.its core concepts were originated 

with the concept of nano electronics.In 1997 the first ever theory for the moelcular electronics was given by by Mark Reed

and co-workers.Its one of the important discpline that provides us way for dealing with all the electronic characteristics of

conductors,insulators and semi conductors.molecular electronics has two sub disciplines

    * molecular materials for electronics
    * molecular scale electronics

 Both of them collectively  give high tech and ultra intelligent devices to be used in various kind of applications.This

field is progressing rapidly  and supporting nano electronics in order to develop excellent applications.

molecular electronics works at the smallest scale involving single molecules, its characteristics and sub properties.It deals

with the substance which are considered to be un explorable in the field of electronics.It also implements all the major laws

of electronics in the practical ground basis so that original implementation of theoratical frame work can be seen. Many

major components in the feild of chemistry, physics, biological science and electronics are the gift of molecular

electronics.With the help of this wonderful technology the bulding blocks of structures can be used in intense and complex

fabrications of intergrated circuits.It can control the molecular scale properties of individual atom of matter according to

the use.he direct measurment of material properties is one of the most vital feature of molecular electronics which cannot be

found in any other technology.

Molecular electornics has wide range of appllications in the work areas of chemistry, physics, electronics and nano

electronics, technology,artificial intelligence and medical equipements. Almost all the fabricated chips in the intelligent

machinery that is used on large scale has molecular electronic involved in its constrcution.For example resistors and

transistors that are used in producing electricity,capacitors in space crafts, automation circuits of robots, strategic plant

temperature handlers and CT scan for displaying the infected areas of body.
STM and AFM both have molecular electronics involved in their construction.In the field of chemistry it is used to see the

chemical reactions in stimulated models of nuclear reactors, and also for measuring the acidic and reactive properties of

individual element.

# Molecular electronics is not at all cost effective.complete fabricated components developed by it are quite expensive and

their mantainace cost is also high.
# This technology is not easily understandable.For proper knowledge the basic concepts of nanotechnology and nano electronics

must be studied first.
# Difficult error recovery because of high integration at smallest scale, it is hard to detect the physical error in the

device.
# The components developed because of high manufacturing cost, its components are not readily available.
# Especialized engineers and scientists are required to handle and control the risks factors of molecular electronics.
