M. Sugi et al., FRACTAL IMMITTANCE OF MOLECULAR ASSEMBLIES - A PROSPECT OF ITS APPLICATIONS, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 294, 1997, pp. 455-460
A summary is given of a novel category of circuit elements based on th
e power-law conductivity (PLC) found in various organic and inorganic
materials. This category, the fractal immittance device (FD), acts as
a non-integer-rank differential/integral operator associated with a ki
nd of memory effects. The guidelines for its hardware realization in t
he form of thin film devices utilizing the organized molecular assembl
ies are presented together with the fundamentals of it.
