This paper provides an overview of research developments toward nanometer-scale electronic switching devices for use in building ultra-densely integrated electronic computers. Specifically, two classes of alternatives to the field-effect transistor are considered: (1) quantum-effect and single-electron solid-state devices and (2) molecular electron...
Article
Diverse space-related applications have been proposed for microscopic and sub-microscopic structures, mechanisms, and 'organisms'. To govern their functions, many of these tiny systems will require even smaller, nanometer-scale programmable computers, i.e. 'nanocomputers' on-board. This paper provides an overview of the results of a nearly two-year...

... Rapidly developing field of molecular electronics is directed towards singlemolecule devices which are based on specific responses of certain molecules. The aim is to build electrically, optically and mechanically driven molecular switches, sensors or data storage media [1,2,3,4]. A lot of attention has been focused on azobenzene (AB) which is a molecule capable of optical switching [5]. ...
... The composition, shape, and size of the island decide the properties of solid-state nanoelectronic devices. Microelectronic devices make use of the silicon element belonging to group 14 of the order table, whereas most of the solidstate nanoelectronic devices make use of elements from groups 13 and 15, for example GaAs and AlAs [25,26]. The devices made from 13 and 15 groups are cost effective and easy to fabricate. ...
... McEuen's research team has focused on single-wall tubes. They were the first to investigate electron transport in single-wall tubes in 1997, working along with a team from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands [135]. Both teams have previously investigated the behavior of electrons tunneling into and out of single-wall tubes. ...
... Today, various quantum computing methods are used to study the properties of molecular nanoelectronic systems and open atomic subsystems (Dyck and Ratner 2015;Siddiqui 2020). Generally, molecular wires/ junctions and molecular switches are among the most important components of a molecular nanoelectronic circuit (Goldhaber-Gordon et al. 1997). Among these nanoelectronic devices, molecular switches have received a lot of attention due to their wide applications in turning ON and OFF electrical circuits and signal processing (Yang et al. 2008;Mendes et al. 2005;Sabzyan and Farmanzadeh 2007). ...
