Résumé | A dangling bond (DB) on a silicon surface atomic has been found to behave as an atomic-scale quantum dot. This opens up the possibility of using DBs as building blocks for novel electronic structures, pushing the ultimate limits of nanoscale devices. Examples include: artificial molecules, nanowires, and alternate computing architectures such as the Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata (QCA). We study theoretically various aspects of DB structures on an H-terminated 2x1 Si(001) surface, which are of primary interest for the advancement of any device architecture: (i) The "diatomic" artificial DB molecule, composed of two tunnel-coupled DBs; its coherence and polarization properties in different ionic states; its potential as a charge qubit. (ii) The interaction of such DB structures with external control electrodes and manipulators, including the interaction with a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) probe. |
