Abstract:

Research objectives were the theoretical investigation of single- electron tunneling phenomena in semiconductor heterostructures, and their application possibilities in the development of ultradense logic and memory circuits. Report period objectives 1 To design and model simple digital circuits based on capacitively coupled single-electron transistors and 2 To extend the orthodox theory of correlated single-electron tunneling to ultrasmall quantum dots.
