title: Multilevel conductance switching of a memory device induced by enhanced intermolecular charge transfer.
abstract: The modification of the terminal electron-donating groups induces a critical change in molecular aggregation and the intermolecular charge-transfer effect of the symmetric D-A1-A2-A1-D molecules that correlate with an addressable variation of memory performance from binary to ternary.
