Identical Curves...

Curves look identical at the high voltage end in all three panels, taken from different papers, and at the low voltage end for the top two panels. All three give the input­output characteristics of a field-effect transistor, but for different materials: (a) a self-assembled monolayer of undiluted 4,4'-biphenyldithiol, (b) a self-assembled monolayer of the same molecule but diluted with non-conducting molecules, and (c) pentacene.
