Atomic Electronics With Silicon Dangling Bonds: Error Correction, Logical Gates, and Electrostatic Environment
DownloadSpring 2020
With the potential to unleash a new basis for electronics that are more energy efficient, faster, and at the ultimate scale in size density, single atoms as building blocks for miniature circuity have long been a technological holy grail. Preventing significant development have been various...
