Engineering electron-electron attraction in nanoelectromechanical systems

我们的研究目标是对电子通过量子点传输的电子-电子相互作用的影响进行理论分析研究。为此，我们想要研究一个最小的模型，它具有所有必要的特征，但仍然允许对这些特征进行最大的控制，即机械纳米谐振器上的量子点。我们的前瞻性发现可能表明超导体中铜对配对机制的类比或有助于纳米机电系统领域的应用。除了对单电子传输的基本见解之外，我们的结果也可能与可预见的技术应用相关：例如，单电子晶体管（计算机）或纳米机电传感器（智能手机）。

Our research objective is to perform theoretical analytical studies on the effects of an attractive electron-electron interaction on electron transport through a quantum dot. To this end, we want to study a minimal model that features all necessary characteristics but still allows for maximal control over these characteristics, namely a quantum dot on a mechanical nanoresonator. Our prospective findings could indicate analogies to the pairing mechanism of cooper pairs in superconductors or contribute to applications in the field of nanoelectromechanical systems. Beyond the fundamental insights into single electron transport, our results could thus also be relevant to foreseeable technology applications: e.g., to single-electron-transistors (computers) or to nanoelectromechanical sensors (smartphones).
