Popis: Switching and memory storage thin films constructed from metallorganic charge-transfer complexes, such as Cu + TCNQ - , can be prepared by reacting metals directly with organic acceptors in an acetonitrile solution. SEM and electrochemical methods were used to study the formation process of Cu + TCNQ - films on Cu substrates in a TCNQ/acetonitrile solution. These studies show that the Cu + TCNQ - films are formed via a localized corrosion-crystallization process, and the electrode system of Cu/Cu + TCNQ - , TCNQ 0 (CH 3 CN) is an active-passive system corroding under diffusion control
