A Carbon Nanotube Based Nanorelay
arXiv:cond-mat/0208427 · doi:10.1063/1.1557324
Abstract
We investigate the operational characteristics of a nanorelay based on a conducting carbon nanotube placed on a terrace in a silicon substrate. The nanorelay is a three terminal device that acts as a switch in the GHz regime. Potential applications include logic devices, memory elements, pulse generators, and current or voltage amplifiers.
