单电子晶体管

由电子束纳米微刻技术制成的单电子晶体管呈现了新的物理现象：单电子隧穿效应和电荷宇称效应．这些发现为创造新型的电子器件开辟了光明前景，包括可以用比最基本电荷ｅ还小的电荷量来调制电流，处理以单电子为单位的电脑数字信息，并且也可发展成高度灵敏的微波探测器．

SINGLE-ELECTRON TRANSISTOR

The microstructured single-electron transistor made possible by recent developments of electron beam lithography has exhibited interesting physical phenomena,such as single-electron tunneling and charge parity.These effects have opened up new prospects for creating revolutionary novel electronic devices,including control of a non-vanishing DC current by sub-electron electric charge,processing of digital information bits in the form of single electrons,and providing highly sensitive mechanisms for microwave detection.
