The study of single-electron phenomena associated with tunnelling in semiconductor
nanostructures has emerged in recent years as a major forefront of condensed matter …

This article is a review of an area of solid state physics which has come to be known as
mesoscopic devices. These structures have an active region ranging in size from 100 AA to …

A single‐electron memory cell, in which one bit of information is represented by the excess
or shortfall of a precise number of electrons, is described. An experimental memory circuit …

A Si single-electron transistor (SET) was fabricated by converting a one-dimensional (1-D)
Si wire on a SIMOX substrate into a small Si island with a tunneling barrier at each end by …

This book reviews research on single-electron devices and circuits in silicon. These devices
provide a means to control electronic charge at the one-electron level and are promising …

This book overviews the current status of research and development activities of CNTs in
nanodevices, nanomaterials, or nanofabrication. This book presents 15 state-of-the-art …

A single-electron memory cell, in which one bit of information is represented by+ n and− n
electron number states, is described. An experimental memory circuit for n≃ 100 was …

Single electronics has the potential to overcome the limitations of complementary metal
oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology as device dimensions shrink towards the 10 nm …

During six months from April to September 1994, the author visited 42 laboratories in eight
different European countries involved with research in nanostructures. The scientific thrusts …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes quantum transport theory and its application to
semiconductor devices. The quantum effects appear in many guises:(1) modification of the …
