Overcoming the “retention vs. voltage” trade-off in nonvolatile organic memory: Ag nanoparticles covered with dipolar self-assembled monolayers as robust charge storage nodes

- Organic non-volatile nano-floating gate memory (NFGM) devices are explored.
- Ag nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are embedded within gate insulators as storage nodes.
- Dipolar self-assembled monolayers (d-SAMs) covering Ag-NPs suppress memory loss.
- The proposed NFGMs exhibit long retention and low operation voltage simultaneously.
