Quantum-size electronic devices comprise electrodes and at least one cluster seperated from the said electrodes by a tunnel-transparent gap. The characteristic dimensions for elements of quantum-size devices are determined by the formula in the range 1 4 r0, wherein r0 = ħ/(meα2c), wherein ħ is Planck's constant, m¿e? is the electron mass, α=1/137,036 is the fine structure constant, c is the light speed. The cluster may be made of a semiconductor material, conductor, superconductor, high-molecular substance or a covering with a tunnel-transparent dielectric. The matured theory provides possibilities for designing logical devices operating in the mode of transfer and/or storing of several electrons at normal conditions and high temperatures. The operating conditions of the devices are determined. The invention provides basic condition for constructing of high-temperature superconducting components and devices based thereon, as well as for transmitting electric signals and energy loss-free. |
