reversible logic circuits have found emerging attentions in nanotechnology,optical computing, quantum computing and low power design. a programmablelogic array (pla) is a universal circuit which is used to implement combinationallogic circuits. the main part of a pla is its and array. in this study we propose twotypes of optimized reversible programmable logic array (rpla) circuits. the firstty...

Molecular-scale integrated circuits will provide hardware designers with astounding computational resources. However, current design methodologies—which already struggle to exploit the resources available today—are ill-suited to the complexity and high fault rates of these novel technologies. Nature, on the other hand, has evolved ways of coping with these issues. A human being consists of appr...

The Markov random field (MRF) theory has been accepted as a highly effective framework for designing noise-tolerant nanometer digital VLSI circuits. In MRF-based design, proper feedback lines are used to control noise and keep the circuits in their valid states. However, this methodology has encountered two major problems that have limited the application of highly noise immune MRF-based circui...

With the high complexity and density of future nano-system, many aspects such as synchronization system control and system test will be difficult to manage. Clock signals will be suffer from low power supplying and high structural broking rate. As a result, clock fault become an inevitable problem in nano-circuits Self-detection and selfrecovery for clock signal in systems are an important fiel...

To overcome the challenge of using two-dimensional materials for nanoelectronic devices, we propose two-dimensional topological insulator field-effect transistors that switch based on the modulation of scattering. We model transistors made of two-dimensional topological insulator ribbons accounting for scattering with phonons and imperfections. In the on-state, the Fermi level lies in the bulk ...

The resonant tunneling diode (RTD) has been widely studied because of its importance in the field of nanoelectronic science and technology and its potential applications in very high speed/functionality devices and circuits. Even though much progress has been made in this regard, additional work is needed to realize the full potential of RTD’s. As research on RTD’s continues, we will try in thi...

This brief presentation describes our long-term goal and progress toward the construction of computing systems through DNA self-assembly of nanoelectronic devices. First, I will describe our recent progress on patterning DNA and outline our plans for constructing circuits. To help guide these efforts, our group is simultaneously exploring the impact of this new technology on computer architectu...

Control of the location and spatial organization of nanoparticles (NPs) inside polymers is essential to generate highly ordered NP-based functional devices including plasmonic waveguides, photonic crystals, optical lenses, memory storage devices, nanoelectronic circuits, photovoltaics, and batteries. Due to the unique combination of amphiphilicity and the particle character, Janus nanoparticles...
