Tunable Negative Differential Resistance controlled by Spin Blockade in Single Electron Transistors
We demonstrate a tunable negative differential resistance controlled by spin blockade in single electron transistors. The single electron transistors containing a few electrons and spin polarized source and drain contacts were formed in GaAs/GaAlAs heterojunctions using metallic gates. Coulomb blockade measurements performed as a function of applied source-drain bias, electron number, and magne...
متن کاملImage charge effects in single-molecule junctions: Breaking of symmetries and negative-differential resistance in a benzene single-electron transistor
Both experiments and theoretical studies have demonstrated that the interaction between the current-carrying electrons and the induced polarization charge in single-molecule junctions leads to a strong renormalization of molecular charging energies. However, the effect on electronic excitations and molecular symmetries remain unclear. Using a theoretical framework developed for semiconductor-na...
متن کاملToughening due to domain switching in single crystal ferroelectric materials
In this paper Mode I steady state crack growth in single crystal ferroelectric materials is investigated. Specifically, the fracture toughness enhancement due to domain switching near a steadily growing crack tip is analyzed. For this purpose, an incremental phenomenological constitutive law for single crystal ferroelectric materials is implemented within a finite element model to calculate the...
متن کاملSteep switching devices for low power applications: negative differential capacitance/resistance field effect transistors
Simply including either single ferroelectric oxide layer or threshold selector, we can make conventional field effect transistor to have super steep switching characteristic, i.e., sub-60-mV/decade of subthreshold slope. One of the representative is negative capacitance FET (NCFET), in which a ferroelectric layer is added within its gate stack. The other is phase FET (i.e., negative resistance ...
متن کاملProgrammable Conductance Switching and Negative Differential Resistance in Nanoscale Organic Films
Thin (12-nm) self-assembled films of the insulating molecule 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) were contacted by gold electrodes in a sandwich structure. Current-voltage scans of the resulting devices revealed symmetric negative differential resistance (NDR) with peaks at ±3 V and large peak current densities of up to 10 A/cm. Devices could be programmed reversibly into nonvolatile highand low-c...
