Electron Spin and Optical Coherence in Semiconductors

Awschalom, David D., Kikkawa, James M.·1999·Physics Today

Abstract

Semiconductors are ubiquitous in device electronics because their charge distributions are easily shaped and controlled to make logic gates. Since gate switching and intercommunication rates limit device speed, efforts to improve computational power have led the semiconductor industry to push devices to ever-shrinking sizes. Yet, as advances in this area have improved the function of today's chip architectures, miniaturization may soon bring additional complications in the form of quantum mechanical effects. Because quantum systems tend to behave statistically, these effects will introduce unpredictable fluctuations in essential; design parameters, such as charge distribution, that will affect performance as device sizes shrink.

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.
