ABSTRACT:
Described herein is an optically readable memory device comprising a molecular memory obtained using carbon nanotubes. In particular, the molecular memory uses, as memory element, a bundle of carbon nanotubes, for which it is possible to obtain at least two stable states by modifying their geometrical configuration and, consequently, their optical transmission properties.
