Electron billiards in nanoscale circuits Date: October 24, 2010 Source: Technische Universitaet Muenchen Summary: In solar cells, solar radiation boosts electrons to higher energy states, thereby ...

They’ve essentially toggled the electron highway signs with an external magnetic field. This elegant control over band asymmetry might lead to low-power, high-speed data storage based on ...

A single-electron transistor (SET) is a nanoscale electronic device that allows the precise control of individual electrons. Unlike conventional transistors that rely on the flow of many electrons, ...

Images of electron flow from the quantum point contact (QPC) are obtained by raster scanning a negatively charged scanning probe microscope (SPM) tip above the surface of the device and ...

At the heart of these devices are active components, or components of the circuit that electronically control electron flow, like semiconductors.
