Quantum Sizing of Power Electronics: A Trend Towards Miniaturiation of Power Electronic Systems and Equipments

Human ability to manipulate atoms and molecules on quantum basis has generated a new dimension of physical structures for molecular scale transistors and devices. We will discuss about nanodimensional single electron transistor. This molecular device works as a switching element by controlling the electron tunneling for amplifying the current. The basic structure consists of two tunnel junctions isolated by a common insulator of nanodimensional …
