We describe the operation of, and demonstrate logic functionality in, networks of physically coupled, nanometer-scale magnets designed for digital computation in magnetic quantum-dot cellular automata (MQCA) systems. MQCA offer low power dissipation and high integration density of functional elements and operate at room temperature. The basic MQCA logic gate, that is, the three-input majority l...

Having a reliable simulation tool for evaluating the performance of each design is indispensable. Designing multiple-valued logic (MVL) systems help to overcome limitations existing in binary systems. Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) technology that can be substituted CMOS MVL designs. This paper represents an exquisite software platform designing and simulating circuits which are restricted...

Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a computational scheme utilizing the position of interacting single electrons within arrays of quantum dots ("cells") to encode and process binary information. Clocked QCA architectures can provide power gain, logic level restoration, and memory features. Using arrays of micron-sized metal dots, we experimentally demonstrate operation of a QCA latch-invert...

rapidly increasing urbanization in the world, especially in developing countries, let to increasing urban extents. rapid urban growth causes to appearance many problems such as wasting environmental resources, inability of providing necessary services for citizens and unplanned growth. urban mangers and planners need tools for understanding amount and size of future urban growths to prevent the...

in this paper an application of cellular learning automata (cla) to vlsi placement is presented. the cla, which is introduced for the first time in this paper, is different from standard cellular learning automata in two respects. it has input and the cell neighborhood varies during the operation of cla. the proposed cla based algorithm for vlsi placement is tested on number of placement proble...

A novel and efficient ...

We report an experimental demonstration of a logic cell for quantum-dot cellular automata ~QCA!. This nanostructure-based computational paradigm allows logic function implementation without the use of transistors. The four-dot QCA cell is defined by a pair of series-connected double dots, and the coupling between the input and the output double dots is provided by lithographically defined capac...

the cellular automata method has been used to simulate the pattern formation of the schlögl model as a bistable reaction-diffusion system. both microscopic and macroscopic cellular automata approaches have been considered and two different methods for obtaining the probabilities in the microscopic approach have been mentioned. the results show the tendency of the system towards the more stable ...
