Atomic Switch: From Invention to Practical Use and Future Prospects

By Masakazu Aono

Book Overview

Written by the inventors and leading experts of this new field, the book results from the International Symposium on "Atomic Switch: Invention, Practical use and Future Prospects" which took place in Tsukuba, Japan on March 27th - 28th, 2017. The book chapters cover the different trends from the science and technology of atomic switches to their applications like brain-type information processing, artificial intelligence (AI) and completely novel functional electronic nanodevices. The current practical uses of the atomic switch are also described. As compared with the conventional semiconductor transistor switch, the atomic switch is more compact ( 1/10) with much lower power consumption ( 1/10) and scarcely influenced by strong electromagnetic noise and radiation including cosmic rays in space ( 1/100). As such, this book is of interest to researchers, scholars and students willing to explore new materials, to refine the nanofabrication methods and to explore new and efficient devicearchitectures.
