A novel implementation of a charge based quantum computer is proposed. There is no charge transfer during calculation, therefore, uncontrollable entan-glement between qubits due to long-range Coulomb forces is suppressed. High-speed computation with 1ps per an operation looks as feasible. Almost all recent experimental realizations of quantum computation accomplished on several qubits and even ...

dimension to high-content screening The Acumen® eX3 microplate cytometer is the next generation of the Acumen Explorer® high-content screening system. It is equipped with multiple lasers, offering a wavelength range for excitation that greatly increases the variety of fluorescent reagents compatible with the system. The Acumen eX3 simplifies assay transfer by combining the powerful object recog...

Device mismatch, charge leakage and nonlinear transfer functions limit the resolution of analog-VLSI arithmetic circuits and degrade the performance of neural networks and adaptive filters built with this technology. We present an analysis of the impact of these issues on the convergence time and residual error of a linear perceptron using the Least-Mean-Square (LMS) algorithm. We also identify...

The output fluorescence exhibited by an intramolecular charge transfer fluorescent probe 1 providing different chemical inputs mimicked multiple logic gates. A molecular keypad lock security device authorizing password entries (logic memory) and capable of solving crossword puzzles has been constructed by computing the output emission of 1 upon chemical inputs of BSA and Hg(2+). Based on logic ...

A back-gated nonplanar floating gate device based on buried single triangular-shaped Si nanowire channel (width ∼40 nm) and embedded high-density uniform NiSi nano-dots (∼1.5× 1012 cm−2) is demonstrated. Memory properties including memory window, programming/ erasing, and retention are evaluated. The transfer and transient characteristics show clear charge injection, storage and removal effects...

Interface processes strongly affect the performances and efficiency of organic based devices. The integration of 2D materials like graphene in organic devices (for example as electrodes) is expected, on the other hand, to improve the overall device performances. There is a need therefore for a deeper understanding and control of processes like charge transfer (CT) at interfaces between organic ...

Geminate recombination of bound polaron pairs at the donor/acceptor interface is one of the major loss mechanisms in organic bulk heterojunction solar cells. One way to overcome Coulomb attraction between opposite charge carriers and to achieve their full dissociation is the introduction of high dielectric permittivity materials such as nanoparticles of narrow band gap semiconductors. We select...

The use of single molecules as active components in electronic devices is presently considered a potential alternative to semiconductor-based nanoscale electronics since it directly provides precisely-defined nano-scale components for electronic devices which eventually allows for simple processing and device fabrication. In the present thesis the self-assembly and electron transport properties...
