Single Electron Tunneling Junctions
This paper and its associated Python programs explore the dynamics of single electron tunneling junction (SETJ) circuits. SETJs can potentially be used as nonlinear circuit elements to implement new paradigms for information processing. I show that an isolated SETJ circuit with a constant bias voltage and sinusoidal pump offset can produce a variety of interesting nonlinear behavior. By adjusti...
متن کاملSingle-electron Tunneling
The charge stored on a capacitor is not quantized: it consists of polarization charges generated by displacing the electron gas with respect to the positive lattice ions and can take arbitrary magnitudes. The charge transfer across a tunnel junction, however, is quantized in units of the electron charge (singleelectron tunneling), and may be suppressed due to the Coulomb interaction (Coulomb bl...
متن کاملSingle-Electron Tunneling Devices
Single-electron tunneling devices can detect charges much smaller than the charge of an electron. This enables phenomenally precise charge measurements and it has been suggested that large scale integration of single-electron devices could be used to construct logic circuits with a high device packing density. Here the operation of the two basic types of single-electron tunneling transistors is...
متن کاملHigh-Radix Addition and Multiplication in the Electron Counting Paradigm Using Single Electron Tunneling Technology
The Electron Counting (EC) paradigm was proved to be an efficient methodology for computing arithmetic operations in Single Electron Tunneling (SET) technology. In previous research EC based addition and multiplication have been implemented. However, the effective performance of these schemes is diminished by fabrication technology imposed practical limitations. To alleviate this problem high r...
متن کامل"Size-Independent" Single-Electron Tunneling.
Incorporating single-electron tunneling (SET) of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) into modern electronic devices offers great promise to enable new properties; however, it is technically very challenging due to the necessity to integrate ultrasmall (<10 nm) particles into the devices. The nanosize requirements are intrinsic for NPs to exhibit quantum or SET behaviors, for example, 10 nm or smaller,...
