In the past decade, the field of single electronics has attracted attention for applications in both microelectronics and electrical metrology. In particular, single-electron tunnelling (SET) devices ...

In the current age of nanoscience, charge quantization has enabled the manipulation of single electrons in nanostructures, with applications in metrology, sensing and thermometry4. These ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Electron pumps are devices that can transfer a certain number of electrons during each pumping cycle. Besides being of fundamental interest to physicists, single-electron pumps ...

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have observed the absorption of a single electron by a levitated droplet with such a magnification that it is visible with the naked eye and can even be ...

Quantum mechanics is perhaps the most unintuitive theory ever devised. And yet it’s also the most successful, in terms of sheer predictive power. Simply by following the math of quantum mechanics, ...

This paper is concerned chiefly with the introduction of a co-ordinate operator in the quantum mechanics of the electron. It differs from other work on the same subject in the derivation of the form ...

Advances in epitaxial growth of high-quality low-dimensional strained germanium semiconductor structures in recent years have opened up options for studies of these systems that previously were not ...
