Design of new single-electron information-processing circuit mimicking behavior of swarm of honeybees

Tanabe T., Oya T., Graduate School of Engineering, Yokohama National University, JP

We propose a new single-electron (SE) circuit that shows a unique information-processing by mimicking a foraging behavior of a swarm of honeybees. Recently, a “nature-inspired” or “biomimetic” technique based on natural world phenomena or biological [...]

Single Election Trapping in Nanoscale Transistors; RTS(Random Telegraph Signals) and l/f Noise

Forbes L., Miller D.A., Louie M.Y., Oregon State University, US

Random telegraph signal, RTS, noise[1] is most obvious in submicron devices with traps, for example in nanoscale MOS transistors, MOSFET’s, with a low number of carriers. RTS is sometimes an indicator of poor device quality [...]

A Scheme for Electrical Detection of Single Electron Spin Resonance

Martin I., Mozyrsky D., Jiang H.W., Los Alamos National Laboratory, US

We study a scheme for electrical detection of the spin resonance (ESR) of a single electron trapped near a Field Effect Transistor (FET) conduction channel. In this scheme, the resonant Rabi oscillations of the trapped [...]
