Single electron transistor using a molecularly linked gold colloidal particle chain
Abstract
By applying a dithiol (1,6-hexanedithiol) treatment, it was observed that a submonolayer of gold colloidal particles deposited by using an aminosilane adhesion agent [i.e., 3-(2-aminoethylamino) propyltrimethoxysilane] transform themselves into chains consisting of a few gold colloidal particles. In those chains, gold colloidal particles are believed to be linked by alkane chains derived from the dithiol molecules. The particle chain was formed on a SiO2 substrate with source, drain, and gate metal electrodes defined by electron beam lithography. It was observed that the gold particle chain bridged a gap between the source and drain forming a single electron transistor with a multi-tunnel junction in the particle chain. The electron conduction through the chain exhibited a clear Coulomb staircase and the periodic conductance oscillation as a function of gate voltage. These measurement results corresponded closely to the results of a simulation based on the orthodox theory.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
