Novel Phase-frequency Detector based on Quantum-dot Cellular Automata Nanotechnology
The electronic industry has grown vastly in recent years, and researchers are trying to minimize circuits delay, occupied area and power consumption as much as possible. In this regard, many technologies have been introduced. Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA) is one of the schemes to design nano-scale digital electronic circuits. This technology has high speed and low power consumption, and occup...
متن کاملIntrinsic noise properties of atomic point contact displacement detectors.
We measure the noise added by an atomic point contact operated as a displacement detector. With a microwave technique, we increase the measurement speed of atomic point contacts by a factor of 500. The measurement is then fast enough to detect the resonant motion of a nanomechanical beam at frequencies up to 60 MHz and sensitive enough to observe the random thermal motion of the beam at 250 mK....
متن کاملStudy of the flexural sensitivity and resonant frequency of an inclined AFM cantilever with sidewall probe
The resonant frequency and sensitivity of an atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever with assembled cantilever probe (ACP) have been analyzed and a closed-form expression for the sensitivity of vibration modes has been obtained. The proposed ACP comprises an inclined cantilever and extension, and a tip located at the free end of the extension, which makes the AFM capable of topography at sidew...
متن کاملIntroducing New Structures for D-Type Latch and Flip-Flop in Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata Technology and its Use in Phase-Frequency Detector, Frequency Divider and Counter Circuits
Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) technology is an alternative to overcoming the constraints of CMOS technology. In this paper, a new structure for D-type latch is presented in QCA technology with set and reset terminals. The proposed structure, despite having the set and reset terminals, has only 35 quantum cells, a delay equal to half a cycle of clocks and an occupied area of 39204 nm2. T...
متن کاملFrequency-tunable micromechanical oscillator
An experimental method, employing a scanning tunneling microscope ~STM! as an actuator and a scanning electron microscope ~SEM! as a motion detector, was developed to study microelectromechanical systems ~MEMS! and has been applied to study microfabricated cantilever beams. Vibrations actuated by an ac voltage applied to the piezodrive are transferred to the sample by the STM tip, which also pr...
