Abstract
A zwitterionic molecule has been incorporated as a Langmuir-Blodgett ( LB) film between two electrodes. Current-voltage curves are presented which exhibit rectifier-like behaviour. By placing passive organic lay ers between the zwitterionic LB film and each electrode we show that S chottky contact and similar interfacial effects axe not important and, therefore, that the rectifier-like behaviour is unequivocally associa ted with the zwitterionic molecular structure.
