and locations of all electrons that contribute to the electronic properties of the device. In such devices, the number of electrons may be very small, so

this noise is superimposed on many thousands of electrons rather than a single electron; the devices' primary advantage is thus their negligible readout

A single-electron transistor (SET) is a sensitive electronic device based on the Coulomb blockade effect. In this device the electrons flow through a tunnel

transport, single-electron devices, and charge dynamics in nanostructures. His research utilizes quantum-effect and single-electron devices, both for fundamental

effects due to spin and orbital interactions respectively between the electrons. The devices can comprise either metallic or superconducting electrodes. If the

An electron multiplier is a vacuum-tube structure that multiplies incident charges. In a process called secondary emission, a single electron can, when
