Note: The attractiveness of nanotechnology comes from the unique quantum and surface phenomena that matter exhibits at the nanoscale and makes new applications and interesting materials possible. The goal of evolutionary nanotechnology is to improve existing processes, materials and applications by shrinking in the nano realm and finally fully exploiting the unique quantum and surface phenomena that matter shows on the nano scale.
Quantum nano-memories operate through the exploitation of matter in very small scales, they are dependent and based on the advances in the field of nanotechnology. Using nanotechnology in quantum computing and other similar electronic technologies, there are two basic principles at the core of nanotechnology: First, the smaller you make the material, the larger the relative surface area of the material. And the second is the loss of bulk properties instead of quantum phenomena when you get to such a small scale. Quantum nanotechnology is based on the principle of electron tunneling. The basic theory is that a particle trapped in a one-dimensional nanomemory cannot escape unless an electron breaks its way out of the confinement. This is a phenomenon that is only exhibited by quantum materials and cannot be seen with any bulk material. This principle can be extended to include all 3D - the so-called particle in a 3D nano-memory. The amount of electron confinement introduced into a material determines its dimension - because quantum dimensions are more relative to electron confinement (and in how many dimensions electrons operate in) than atomic spatial arrangement. Quantum dots are probably the most well-known quantum structure in nano-memories. The interesting thing about quantum dots is that electronically, they are confined in all three dimensions, so they are classified as zero-dimensional materials.
Quantum dots are an interesting class of materials, and many of them are functional (usually tunable). They are semi-conducting in nature and are often referred to as artificial atoms because they have discrete electronic states - that is, the states can only carry certain amounts of energy (unlike bulk materials). Quantum dots are now of interest in many applications such as electronic nano-memories.Quantum nanowires, otherwise known as nanowires, are a one-dimensional electrically conductive structure with electrons trapped in two dimensions. They are known as "wires" because the electron movements are restricted in one transverse direction, i.e. along the wire, making their mode of operation similar to ordinary wires. They are used to pass electrons in electronic nano-memories, but only certain energy levels can be used because their bands are also discrete. One of the main advantages of quantum wires is their high aspect ratio, where wires can be up to 1000 times longer than they are wide. In the internal structure and building of nano quantum electronic memories, electrons can tunnel and connect nano potential holes to each other and create a super network. These superlattices contain nanowires that run the length of the associated potential hole, meaning that electrons can easily move between holes, enabling the superlattice to exhibit excellent charge-carrying properties and, in some cases, superconductivity. to show And in this way quantum nano memory is produced.
Conclusion:
The attractiveness of nanotechnology comes from the unique quantum and surface phenomena that matter exhibits at the nanoscale and enables new applications and interesting materials. The goal of evolutionary nanotechnology is to improve existing processes, materials and applications by shrinking in the nano realm and finally fully exploiting the unique quantum and surface phenomena that matter shows on the nano scale.
