| Abstract: | The possibility of performing logical operations at the molecular level is being actively investigated at present with the
aim of developing molecular logic gates, which can be used in information technologies. In this minireview, the design algorithm
of molecular logic gates is considered and the requirements on molecular systems for use as logic gates are specified. Examples
of molecular logic gates performing different logical operations are given. Attention is focused on all-photonic molecular
logic gates, in which light is used as an input signal for transferring the system from one state to another and for reading
the output signal by absorption or luminescence. In addition, optoelectronic devices with light as the input signal and electric
current as the output signal are briefly discussed. |
