Organo-Metallic Elements for Associative Information Processing

Abstract

In the three years of the program we have: (1) built and tested a 4 bit element matrix device for possible use in high density content-addressable memories systems; (2) established a test and evaluation laboratory to examine optical materials for nonlinear effects, saturable absorption, harmonic generation and photochromism; (3) successfully designed, constructed and operated a codeposition processing system that enables organic materials to be deposited on a variety of substrates to produce optical grade coatings and films. This system is also compatible with other traditional microelectronic techniques; (4) used the sol-gel process with colloidal AgTCNQ to fabricate high speed photochromic switches; (5) develop and applied for patent coverage to make VO2 optical switching materials via the sol-gel processing using vanadium (IV) alkoxide compounds.
