Monte Carlo simulation of single electron device made by molecular self-assembly tehnology
|
Abstract:
Single electron devices have been prepared by the molecular self assembly technique and their voltage current characteristics measured. On the other hand, single electron devices were studied by the Monte Carlo simulation based on a semi classical theory of single electron phenomena. The simulatd voltage current curve is similar to the measured one. This shows that the above method may be used to study single electron devices.Furthermore ,the simulatd results indicate that the voltage current characteristic of a single electron device is determined only by the small quantity of nanoparticles in the low voltage region though there are a large number of nanoparticles between the two electrodes.
