Examples in Context

  1. The generation mechanisms of these physical phenomena of Coulomb blockade, Coulomb staircase, single electron tunneling were described with single electron transistor ( SET ) as the research object.
  2. Influence of electron-phonon interaction on single electron tunneling in a quantum dot molecule
  3. In this work, we calculated the tunneling probability of a single electron tunneling in a series of asymmetric barriers using the transfer matrix technique in the framework of effective mass approximation.
  4. Its operation is based on a quantum effect, i.e., single electron tunneling through the barrier layer between its electrode and Coulomb island.
  5. Electromechanical single electron transistor ( EMSET ) achieves dynamic coupling between single electron tunneling and the island vibration. It not only belongs to one of most essential devices of NEMS, but also reveals the important physical mechanism in complex devices.
