Design and simulation of a nanoelectronic single-electron universal ControlControl-Not gate
A single-electron universal ControlControl-Not gate (CCN gate) is presented in this paper. Bits of information are represented by the presence or absence of single-electrons at conducting islands. The logic operation of the CCN gate as well as its XOR, AND, NAND and NOT operation is verified using simulation. The stability of its universal operation is analysed using a Monte Carlo method. Stability analysis using free energy diagrams and stability plots verify the correct and stable operation of the gate.
