Coherent particle transfer in an on-demand single-electron source.
Electron transfer from a localized state in a quantum dot into a ballistic conductor generally results in particle-hole excitations. We study this effect, considering a resonance level with time-dependent energy coupled to particle states in the Fermi sea. We find that, as the resonance level is driven through the Fermi-level, particle-hole excitations can be suppressed for certain driving prot...
متن کاملSingle Crystal Diamond Needle as Point Electron Source
Diamond has been considered to be one of the most attractive materials for cold-cathode applications during past two decades. However, its real application is hampered by the necessity to provide appropriate amount and transport of electrons to emitter surface which is usually achieved by using nanometer size or highly defective crystallites having much lower physical characteristics than the i...
متن کاملAn on-demand coherent single-electron source.
We report on the electron analog of the single-photon gun. On-demand single-electron injection in a quantum conductor was obtained using a quantum dot connected to the conductor via a tunnel barrier. Electron emission was triggered by the application of a potential step that compensated for the dot-charging energy. Depending on the barrier transparency, the quantum emission time ranged from 0.1...
متن کاملPoint - source inertial particle dispersion
The dispersion of inertial particles continuously emitted from a point source is analytically investigated in the limit of small inertia. Our focus is on the evolution equation of the particle joint probability density function p(x,v, t), x and v being the particle position and velocity, respectively. For finite inertia, position and velocity variables are coupled, with the result that p(x,v, t...
متن کاملTransistors – From Point Contact to Single Electron
The first solid state electron device was the metal-semiconductor rectifier discovered by Ferdinand Braun in 1874 even before the discovery of the electron! He found that mercury metal contacts on copper or iron sulphide gave non-linear currentvoltage characteristics. In 1904 J C Bose obtained a U.S patent for point contact rectifiers on Galena (PbS). He found that the direction of rectificatio...
