Drain, source, and gate electrodes on a SiO2/Si substrate were formed using electron beam lithography (EBL) and thermal evaporation of Au. Subsequently, solutions of 3-nm-diameter and 5-nm-diameter Au NPs were dropped on the device to make current paths through Au NPs among the electrodes. Measurements of the device exhibited negative differential resistance (NDR) in the current-voltage characteristics between the drain and source electrodes at room temperature (298 K). The NDR behavior was tuned by applying a gate voltage.}, title = {Gate-tuned negative differential resistance observed at room temperature in an array of gold nanoparticles}, volume = {123}, year = {2017} }
