Nanotube Stochastic Resonance: Noise–enhanced Detection of Subthreshold Signals

Lee I.Y., Liu X., Kosko B., Zhou C., University of Southern California, US

Noise can help signal detection at the nano-level. Experiments on a single-walled carbon nanotube transistor confirm that a threshold is sufficient for a nondynamical system to exhibit stochastic resonance: a judicious amount of noise can [...]

Quantum Transport in Nanotube Transistors

Leonard F., Sandia National Laboratories, US

We discuss recent calculations of electronic transport in a 10 nm long, three-terminal carbon nanotube device. By calculating self-consistently the electrostatic potential and charge in the device, we obtain the band bending along the nanotube [...]

The Landauer Approach to the Critical Source-Channel Barrier in MOSFETs

Lundstrom M., Rhew J-H., Purdue University, US

A simple treatment of the nano-scale MOSFET in the spirit of the Landauer approach to transport in mesoscopic structures is described. First, the essential physics is illustrated by examining numerical simulations. Next, the analytical theory [...]
