ELECTROSTATICALLY REGULATED ATOMIC SCALE ELECTROCONDUCTIVITY DEVICE

摘要

An atomic scale electroconductivity device with electrostatic regulation includes a perturbing species having a localized electronic charge. A sensing species having an electronic conductivity is placed in proximity to the perturbing species at a distance sufficient to induce a change in the electronic conductivity associated with the localized electronic charge. Electronics are provided to measure the conductivity via the sensing species. A temporally controlled atomic scale transistor is provided by biasing a substrate to a substrate voltage with respect to ground.
