MODEL OF SINGLE-ELECTRON TRANSISTOR BASED ON PRISMANES

Abstract

In recent years, the effect of correlated tunneling of single electrons has been used to solve the further reduction in the size of electronic elements. The essence of this effect is the Coulomb blockade of electron transport and orderly motion of elementary charges, arising due to their interaction by means of an electric field. This led to the birth of single-electronics, the "core" of which is electronic devices based on single molecules. In this work, within the framework of density functional theory, the transport properties of a single-electron transistor (SET) based on C12H12, C12F12, C18H12, C18F12 prismanes are model investigated. The optimization of prismane molecules was carried out using the exchange-correlation functional of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), which allows to describe such structures most accurately
