Ionic Coulomb Blockade and Resonant Conduction in Biological Ion Channels
The conduction and selectivity of calcium/sodium ion channels are described in terms of ionic Coulomb blockade, a phenomenon based on charge discreteness and an electrostatic model of an ion channel. This novel approach provides a unified explanation of numerous observed and modelled conductance and selectivity phenomena, including the anomalous mole fraction effect and discrete conduction band...
متن کاملCoulomb blockade and hopping conduction in PbSe quantum dots.
We report for the first time on rich and tunable transport phenomena in closed-packed arrays of PbSe colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) in the form of thin films. As the interdot coupling is increased, the system evolves from an insulating regime dominated by Coulomb blockade to a semiconducting regime, where hopping conduction is the dominant transport mechanism. The observed phenomena can be interp...
متن کاملThin film polycrystalline silicon nanowire biosensors.
Polysilicon nanowire biosensors have been fabricated using a top-down process and were used to determine the binding constant of two inflammatory biomarkers. A very low cost nanofabrication process was developed, based on simple and mature photolithography, thin film technology, and plasma etching, enabling an easy route to mass manufacture. Antibody-functionalized nanowire sensors were used to...
متن کاملUltrathin textured polycrystalline oxide with a high electron conduction efficiency prepared by thermal oxidation of thin polycrystalline silicon film on n+ polycrystalline silicon
This letter presents an ultrathin textured polycrystalline oxide (polyoxide) ( ~100 A) prepared by thermal oxidation of thin polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon) film on n+ polysilicon. The presented textured polyoxide exhibits a much higher electron injection efficiency, a much smaller electron trapping rate, and a much larger charge to breakdown than the normal polyoxide. The value of Qhd of...
متن کاملQuantum Effects in Coulomb Blockade
We review the quantum interference effects in a system of interacting electrons confined to a quantum dot. The review starts with a description of an isolated quantum dot. We discuss the Random Matrix theory (RMT) of the one-electron states in the dot, present the universal form of the interaction Hamiltonian compatible with the RMT, and derive the leading corrections to the universal interacti...
