Single-electron device based on the majority logic.

在这个项目中，我们开发了基于多数逻辑原理的单电子门电路。所提出的多数逻辑门电路由用于输入求和的电容阵列和用于阈值运算的单电子逆变器组成。它接受奇数个输入，并根据多数决定原则产生相应的输出；如果输入的多数为1，则输出逻辑“1”；如果输入的多数为0，则输出逻辑“0”。通过结合所提出的多数门电路，可以用比基于布尔的结构更少的器件构建各种子系统。设计了加法器和奇偶校验器。计算机仿真结果表明，所设计的子系统能够产生正确的逻辑运算。对热搅拌引起的操作误差进行了估计。

In this project, we developed single-electron gate circuits based on the principle of the majority logic. The majority logic gate circuit proposed consists of a capacitor array for input summation and a single-electron inverter for threshold operation. It accepts an odd number of inputs and produces the corresponding output on the basis of the principle of majority decision; it produces an output of logic "1" if the majority of the inputs is 1 , and an output of "0" if the majority is 0. By combining the proposed majority gate circuits, various subsystems can be constructed with a smaller number of devices than that of Boolean-based construction. An adder and a parity generator are designed as examples. It is shown by computer simulation that the designed subsystems produce the correct logic operations. The operation error induced by thermal agitation is also estimated.
