Abstrakt: Transmission electron microscopy images showed that conjugation between single core-shell CdSe/ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) and oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was achieved through the complexation reaction. Current-voltage (I-V) measurements on Al/CdSe:MWCNT conjugated nanocomposite/indium-tin-oxide devices at 300 K showed that the on/off ratio of the current bistability was as large as about 104, which was significantly increased due to an enhancement of the carrier transfer efficiency between the CdSe/ZnSe QDs and the MWCNTs. Carrier transport mechanisms of the bistable memory devices fabricated utilizing CdSe/ZnSe QD/MWCNT hybrid nanocomposite are described on the basis of the I-V results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
